Welcome to St Chris

What every parent wants is for their children to do well in life. And that means finding a school that will set them up for their future.

What do they need for that?

Good grades, of course, and as strong an academic attainment as possible. But they need something arguably more important too.
They need a core confidence in themselves as young people, a sense of their own worth and responsibility.

So come and visit St Chris and find out what your children
are capable of.

Last week, D Group (Year 6) classes enjoyed a lively Forest School session at the Arunwood Ecocentre in the Senior School Earth Education area. 🔥In the festive spirit, the class enjoyed chestnuts roasted on an open fire, the first Junior School fire lit in the Earth Education area - and shortly followed by the Senior School pupils lighting a fire. The French Forest School session was led by Cyrille Simon, Head of Modern Foreign Languages, and Lydia Somerville, Junior School Forest School Teacher.Students watched the smoke tower from the fire as they played in the forest area, built swings and enjoyed the remaining chestnuts.The goats, adorned in their new jackets, bleated in the background as they kept warm from the cold.#MyStChris #ForestSchool ...

🕺Jesus Christ Superstar, do you think you're what they say you are? 👑🌟I'm sure many parents agree, but the songs from Jesus Christ Superstar have been living rent-free in our heads all week long 🎼. Rightly so; the team who made the production happen (over 100-strong students, members of staff and willing volunteers from the community) made it a performance to remember. Packing out the theatre not one but four times for three days of performing, the cast used their sensitivity and creativity to portray the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.This awe-inspiring musical, first staged as a concept album in 1970, has been performed across continents, criticised for its sympathetic portrayal of Judas, the romance between Jesus and Mary, and how it does not feature the resurrection of Jesus Christ. With these thoughts in mind, the cast and crew handled sensitive issues with dignity and diligence.The rock opera was well-received by the audience, who gave multiple standing ovations across the three-day performance.We've compiled a few shots from across both performances as we reminisce. A huge well done to everyone who was involved in this performance; whether you helped with lighting, made props and outfits, helped to build the set, took on a leading role, were part of the ensemble, came to rehearsals, spoke to students in anticipation of the performance, bought a ticket, were part of the Wombles, or had a solo - your hard work certainly paid off.And, to our Upper Sixth (Year 13) pupils, what a fantastic final musical performance as you conclude your journey at St Chris this year. Your words at the end of the closing night were inspiring, talking about your journies - many of whom have been at St Chris since I Group (Year 7) or were students in the Junior School. For current pupils, hearing from you and what you have achieved over the year was invaluable.#MusicalTheatre #MyStChris ... See MoreSee Less
