Share this page on X pinterest Pin this page Email this page Welcome from the Headteacher Welcome to Archbishop Sumner Church of England Primary School. We are a creative and diverse school in the heart of Kennington, where children are equipped with skills and knowledge to thrive in all they do.
Through Christian values, such as love, hope, integrity and respect, our children thrive in an inclusive, rich and vibrant community. When trees thrive, they have healthy, vibrant leaves, produce fruit and grow. They can withstand drought and flood. Their strong roots keep them upright during storms. Thriving starts with love.
When we thrive, we achieve our best academically, we grow in character and resilience and we face the future with hope.
