Saint Christina’s was founded in 1949 by the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Educating children in the Catholic tradition means being part of a warm, caring and compassionate community in which everyone is encouraged to think about others and care for our environment. A key feature of our Catholicism is the way in which we tend to each child’s individual needs. At Saint Christina’s we talk about ‘stewardship’. For us this means that we hold your child in trust. It means taking each child by the hand and walking their path so that, in their time with us, they have the opportunity to become the very best that they can be.
Saint Christina’s offers a contemporary curriculum, characterised by variety and innovation. We enjoy an enviable reputation for our STEM provision and Intellectual Curiosity Programme which has already provided opportunities for the children to launch their own space probe, build their own robots, code their own creations, and engineer, design and race their own mini-Formula 1 racing cars as part of the F1 in Schools programme.
Children at Saint Christina’s approach all that they do with great enthusiasm. In sport, they are successful in their leagues; in music and drama they perform as soloists, and within ensembles, orchestras, musicals and choirs. They successfully combine impressive intellectual endeavour with passion and engagement well beyond the curriculum.
Boys and girls are prepared for entrance exams to day and boarding schools.
The School nestles in a quiet terrace at the foot of Primrose Hill and within a few minutes of Regent’s Park. Prospective parents are warmly invited to visit the School.
Charitable status. Saint Christina’s is a Registered Charity, number 221319.
