Life at St Christopher School | Holistic Education in Letchworth

Life `at St Chris`

We are proud that each child is treated as an individual.

At St Chris, every child is valued as an individual. We go beyond labels or cohort numbers, respecting each student’s unique journey of learning and self-discovery. Our approach nurtures minds, hearts, and character, preparing young people for a changing world and the possibilities of their own impact.

A Day in the Life

No two days are the same, yet each is filled with opportunities for curiosity, personal growth, and achievement. Students develop confidence, ask questions, build meaningful relationships, and explore their potential in a vibrant, supportive environment.

`Core` Values

Our community is guided by respect, integrity, and kindness. These values form the foundation of an inclusive environment where differences are celebrated, each voice is heard, and everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Respect
We foster mutual respect across students, staff, and families. Differences are celebrated, and everyone is encouraged to be themselves, creating meaningful and authentic relationships.
Integrity
Students are encouraged to act with honesty, accountability, and moral responsibility, in their academic work and personal growth.
Kindness
Empathy and compassion underpin our community. Small acts of kindness ripple through the school, building a supportive and connected environment.

`Learning` Approaches

Education at St Chris is experiential, personalised, and holistic:

Individualised Learning
Each child’s strengths, passions, and learning style are recognised. Teachers tailor their approach to provide the right balance of support and challenge for every student.
Experiential Education
Learning comes alive through hands-on experiences, from field trips to global destinations to experiments in state-of-the-art labs.
Holistic Development
Beyond academic achievement, students are supported physically, emotionally, and socially. Arts, sports, and co-curricular activities foster well-rounded development.
Community Engagement
Pupils engage in service projects, developing responsibility, citizenship, and a broader understanding of the world.

`Empowerment` and Expression

Student-led Initiatives
Councils, collaborative projects, and leadership opportunities allow students to shape their own experiences.
Creative Expression
Arts, music, drama, and innovative approaches to learning bring creativity to the forefront and celebrate different learning styles.
Sportsmanship and Wellness
Physical activity, teamwork, and wellness programmes encourage healthy, balanced lifestyles.

Life at St Chris is dynamic and enriching. Our students are encouraged to be themselves, explore their passions, and contribute fully to a thriving community. With values, personalised learning, and a focus on holistic development, education here is not only engaging – it is something students look forward to every day.
