St Christopher's School

A fantastic school! Amazing teachers, a warm, friendly environment, great communication on progress. I would recommend this school to any parent wanting to give their child a positive start to their education. The small class sizes have ensured that my children have the attention that they need and are supported or challenged as needed. They have both made great progress - academically and socially. They have wonderful friends at the school.

My child has attended this school since reception and is now in the older years. I certainly can not relate to the negative feedback seen on here. The school is fantastic, the headteacher is well respected and is clearly dedicated to the school. He greets the children every morning and knows each one of their names; he is approachable and any issues are taken on board even if it’s something that can’t be dealt with initially the fact is you are listened too and it’s taken into consideration; it’s never just dismissed. The school is very diverse, with a mix set of children coming from various backgrounds, they do various sporting activities including after school clubs which my daughter has taken full advantage of. The school also offers an array of school trips and the class teachers are approachable and can be contacted easily. Since (the headteacher) has been here security has also improved in the school - with gates being put up in front of the school and a security door to enter into the school. Since coming here every day my daughter is happy to come to school, she has made some great friends and her confidence has grown. It is a small happy school.

I'd like to share my appreciation and recognition for Miss Angelina in particular for working on one to one basis with all her pupils including our daughter. Her willingness to walk the extra mile, ideas, commitment, dedication, and attention are very much contributing to a great and amazing progress we're witnessing at home! Thank you indeed Miss Angelina for everything you're doing!

St Christopher's is a small school but a close knit and caring school - one of the reasons why we chose the school. All staff know all children and as its a small school all children regardless of year know each other too. Both of my kids are at the school and are very happy since day one. Class numbers are small which means teachers can focus on the kids and children are much happier. The school has a good balance of learning in school and outside school. Want to give a recent thanks to Mr Lyon and Mrs Bastian and Mr Coke who supported the kids on a recent residential trip which the year 6 kids enjoyed very much. It was an experience the kids need and much awaited since Covid. Thank you to the school and the teachers both my kids are very happy.

This is my sons 2nd year at St Christopher’s. Recently as a parent I had some concerns on syllabus content and the way in which Mr Lyon and Miss Clarke dealt with this was above and beyond just being professional. They were approachable, listened and showed a great deal of humility and understanding. As a parent we choose to entrust our children in the expert care and understanding of schools and the teaching staff, however being able to support that learning in a way that is nurturing and always in the interest of the child and their individuality is special. Not all schools listen. My recent experience with both teachers gives me confidence in St Christophers ability not to just teach my child but to nurture him and make the learning journey collaborative and positive. Parent teacher engagement is key to successful learning experiences. Keep up the Good Work!

I have worked with this school during the summer and I would say I got a warm welcome from miss Angelina she is a sweetheart. She really know her work and Full of energy and always having new ideas on a daily basis despite her working on her own she has shown how a true leader needs to be. I have really learnt a lot from her and I always enjoy when I see the children smiling when they see her in the morning full of energy and ready for the day.
I am going to miss her so much and I will tell all the parents that you are so lucky to have such a Teacher.

I found Ms. Angelina to be a very pleasant, humble delightful, supportive and caring person.
Infact I can go on and on, from the very moment that I stepped into the school premises, I found her to be very friendly, she made me feel at ease.
She shows a great deal of care towards the pupils and at the same time shows great professionalism in her role.
The nursery was spotless, bright , clean and inviting, she has a good way of relating not only with the pupils but also with the staff and parents who all seem to adore her.
Ms. Angelina is an asset to Stm Christopher's school.
So a big "well done" to Ms. Angelina

I worked at St Christopher’s for a couple of weeks. It was by far my favourite nursery to work at. Both Miss Angelina and Miss Havva were friendly and had a wonderful sense of humour which made for a harmonious and unified atmosphere. The children were well looked after, and Miss Angelina always found creative ways to engage the children. I’d also like to add that the nursery was always astonishingly pristine. Well done to these hard working dedicated child practitioners!
