We believe that nurturing future thinkers and global citizens begins with empathy—the ability to understand and value the perspectives of others. This starts with a deep understanding of oneself and a willingness to explore the diverse inner and outer worlds that shape who we are. At St Christopher’s, we cultivate an environment where girls learn to find their voice and become confident advocates for themselves and others.
In line with our responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010, we are committed to creating a respectful and inclusive environment where children learn about protected characteristics and the importance of equity and justice. Through assemblies, guest speakers, curriculum content and events such as Pride Month, Women’s History Month, religious celebrations and our student-created Festival of Food, we create opportunities for students to explore and celebrate both their similarities and differences.
Our approach to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Justice (EDIJ) is holistic and ongoing, involving students, staff and families in a 360-degree process of reflection and growth.
We recognise that learning about identity and inclusion is a shared journey. As children engage with new ideas, they may ask questions that spark meaningful conversations at home. At St Christopher’s, we affirm that adults are learners too. We encourage families to respond with curiosity—asking questions like, “What does that mean to you?” or “What makes you say that?”—and to explore answers together. It’s okay not to have all the answers; what matters is the willingness to learn alongside your child.
To support this shared exploration, we provide resources that help bridge conversations between home and school. These tools are designed to deepen empathy, expand understanding, and strengthen the connections that make our community so special.
Being a member of the St Christopher’s is a commitment to building a school where every child and adult feels seen, heard and empowered to shape a more just and inclusive world.
