Wiltshire School
Immediate goals
The vision for the school is to be a lighthouse in the field of education, with high achieving individuals, who value education and want to become positive and responsible members of the community.
The school has a philosophy of education that has two main objectives:

• The school provides an education that is based on Christian principles, on which all subjects are taught from a Christian perspective within the National Curriculum. All staff (including grounds and domestic) have a living Christian faith, but the school welcomes children irrespective of their family's beliefs
• The school offers a service to the community by providing an education that is of as high a quality and as low a cost as possible

Head Teacher Torevei Reports: We have covered a lot of the work on the main classrooms. We have still to put in the floors, renovate the farmhouse to house the teachers and buy desks and text books. Our funds are very limited. I have two teachers whom I have to pay monthly. Our enrolment is very low (50 pupils) and less than 20 have paid their fees. We hope the situation will improve next term if we get more teachers from the Ministry of Education who would be working alongside us.
Future goals

Funds permitting, they would like to build hostels this year so that they can house children coming from farms far from us. The vision is to offer both boarding and day school facilities so that all children from the farming communities can benefit. They have had to turn away a lot of children because they don't have boarding facilities yet.

Founder

The School has been founded by Torevei Munhangu, and his wife Elizabeth, They are joined in this venture by Mr Clever Beseni (Board secretary) and his wife Barbara. Torevei made a lot of friends in the UK after his sudden arrival here in the UK in 2004. Those familiar with the recent past in Zimbabwe can probably imagine what led up to this. This was a very trying time for Torevei having to leave his wife, young child, and his farm, but in God's sovereign overruling, he was able to return home after 5 years with an engineering degree specialising in developing fuel from local Zimbabwean plants. Friends at West Hill Baptist, and at Dorking have continued to follow his progress with great interest and have sought to help him in practical ways.

The school is situated in Chivhu, a rural area near the capital Harare, and has been built on a part of Torevei’s farm.
