Locksley Christian School opened in January 1992 when Stephen and Mandy Franklin turned the ground floor of their house, Locksley Hall, into school rooms. Having home-schooled their own children for one term, the Lord called them to open their doors to the community, to be 'salt and light' and to let other little ones come to the Lord. The first family to join was non-Christian, and from that small start there were several other local families who brought their children to the school. By the end of the first year, there were 23 students and three of the mothers had been saved.

By April 1994 there were several more families who had come to know the Lord, and one or two church families had joined the school. With 45 students on the ground floor of Locksley Hall, one of the fathers offered a lease on a building he owned. For the next year, much work was done by a dedicated team of staff to renovate Bilney House in Manby. This building (pictured above) is the current home of the school.

More recently, due to the success of the Learning Centre environment with an autistic young man, the school began to get requests for places for boys with similar needs. There has now been a Learning Centre specifically tailored to provide support for these boys alongside the school's provision for other learning difficulties.

'' We thank God for His faithfulness to us, because on more than one occasion, there has seemed no way forward, but He has provided a way. Our boundaries are expanding, our children are growing in grace, and we thank God literally every day for the precious gift of Christian Education.''
