About

St Christopher School, Letchworth – Campus, Ethos & The St Chris Advantage Hello and welcome to St Christopher School , an outstanding independent school nestled in the heart of Letchworth Garden City, for boys and girls aged 3-18.

Situated on a sprawling 25-acre campus, just a short train ride from London and Cambridge, St Chris boasts an environment that radiates tranquillity and serenity. The school is set within beautiful grounds, enhanced by excellent facilities.

These include modern IT suites, an indoor swimming pool, extensive pitches and outdoor spaces, as well as specialist areas such as a ceramics studio and a photography darkroom. At St Chris, we celebrate the benefits of an informal approach to education. Here, every individual is addressed by their first name, and the absence of a school uniform fosters a sense of individuality.

At the heart of our ethos is a belief in democracy throughout the school. We value and respect every voice, from our youngest nursery children to the Chair of Governor, ensuring that everyone is heard. While embracing informality, St Chris students consistently achieve strong results in core subjects like Science, Maths, and English.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
