How we teach

Teaching and learning is what we do

We want every girl to leave St Christopher’s with the confidence to challenge assumptions, pursue her passions and shape her own future. Here, curiosity sparks ambition, creativity fuels achievement, and every child is encouraged to discover what makes her uniquely herself.

Our curriculum is designed to nurture inquisitive minds. Carefully planned and thoughtfully sequenced from Reception to Year 6, it gives girls the knowledge, skills and confidence to flourish. Just as importantly, it teaches them how to think: to question, reflect, solve problems and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm.

Learning at St Christopher’s never stands still. We listen closely to our pupils, adapting and evolving to meet their needs and interests while preparing them for a rapidly changing world. Our cross-curriculum links are the thread running through school life, connecting classroom learning with assemblies, performances, plays, trips and Heath Days.

Broad, rich and full of opportunity, our curriculum encourages girls to explore widely before discovering where their talents and interests lead. English and Maths provide strong foundations, complemented by Science, Technology, Sport, Creative Arts, Humanities, Languages, Philosophy and Pastoral Education.

Visit us and you’ll find something difficult to measure but impossible to miss: classrooms alive with questions, teachers who inspire discovery, and girls who are joyfully curious about the world around them.
