The Student Journey
At St Christopher’s, the student journey begins in Nursery and continues through to Sixth Form. Each stage of school life is designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and character, ensuring our students are prepared not just for academic success, but for life beyond the classroom.
We are fortunate to have world-class facilities in which to learn and play. Our commitment to continuous improvement means we are always enhancing the learning experience – whether through research-based practice, innovative teaching methods, or state-of-the-art resources. St Christopher’s is a forward-thinking school that never ‘sits still’.
Infants: The Best Beginnings
Our vision in the Infant School is to use St Christopher’s play-based approach to build strong foundations for lifelong learning. We foster independence, responsibility, and a love of discovery while encouraging children to care for themselves, others, and the wider world.
- 6C’s Core Values – Curiosity, Creativity, Confidence, Compassion, Courage and Commitment – introduced from the earliest years.
- Golden Rules – Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Respectful, Be Responsible – creating a nurturing environment where children thrive.
- Future Ready Curriculum foundations – wellbeing, digital skills, service and enterprise introduced in age-appropriate, joyful ways.
Juniors: Growing Independence
In the Junior School, learning is rooted in the values of Caring, Honesty, and Mutual Respect. Students develop independence and confidence while being inspired by specialist teachers in Computing, Design Technology, Art, French, and more.
- Specialist teaching prepares children for Senior School and beyond.
- Opportunities beyond the classroom – inclusive sports, drama, and music, with every child encouraged to participate.
- Future Ready Curriculum develops critical thinking, metacognition, and global citizenship, empowering children to be ‘world-changers’.
Seniors: Future Ready Leaders
Senior School is where students truly refine their academic passions, leadership skills, and global outlook. With world-class facilities and innovative teaching, our students are prepared for higher education and life beyond.
- World-class academics – Students pursue IGCSEs, A Levels, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, or BTEC, supported by expert teachers and outstanding results.
- Future Ready Curriculum in action – Digital literacy, entrepreneurship, wellbeing, and service embedded into every stage.

A Journey Shared
From Nursery to Sixth Form, every student belongs to a House and a community. Our House System, Student Councils, and leadership opportunities ensure that all voices are heard and celebrated. Whether through collecting values stickers in Infants, competing in Junior sports, or leading service initiatives in Seniors, our students grow into Role Models for the World.

Family members are placed in the same House as their siblings to ensure there is no family rivalry!
