Headteacher's Welcome
A strong mind needs a strong heart...
Saint Christina’s is an authentic and ambitious school community for boys and girls aged 3 to 11. Our children achieve excellent outcomes through an approach that is very much our own.
We are set in leafy St John’s Wood, between Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, only moments from London Zoo and with excellent transport links.
We are ambitious for our children and we encourage them to think deeply, to question with confidence, and to act with integrity in all that they do. They are adventurous in their learning, take pride in their achievements and discover their own unique strengths.
What matters to us is that they leave not only inspired and challenged in their learning but also ready for the next step as thoughtful, grounded young people who know who they are and are comfortable in their own skin.
Academic lessons that stretch from English and Maths to Philosophy and STEM are complemented by a co-curricular programme rich in Music, Art, Drama and Sport. Children enjoy experiences that spark imagination and build resilience. They are given the space to try, to practise and to succeed. They develop the confidence to tackle new challenges with energy and joy.
Our Golden Thread of respect, diligence, inclusion and kindness runs through everything. It can be seen in the calm, purposeful atmosphere of our classrooms, in the supportive friendships that bind our children together and in how children give of themselves in service to others. We welcome children of every background, belief and story. Therefore, we are Catholic in the truest sense of the word: universal.
Words on a page will offer a glimpse of life at Saint Christina’s but the real story can only be felt when you visit. Step through our doors and you will see our values in action: in the ambition and joy of our children, in the dedication of our teachers, and in the strength of a community that truly knows how to draw the best out of each child.
