Why should you apply?

Our inclusive Christian ethos is rooted in our faith that we are all made in God’s image, and put into practice through our school Christian values, which help us learn and live well together, becoming the people God calls us to be.

We are a joyful and diverse school. We strive to be a community that is hospitable to students and staff of all languages, ethnicities and nationalities, those with special educational needs and disabilities, those who are LGBT, those of all family structures, of all socio-economic backgrounds, of all body types, of all faiths and none.

We are a member of the family of Church of England schools in the Diocese of Southwark. Together we share a distinctive Anglican identity with over 100 primary and secondary schools in south London. We are proud to be part of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion, through which we are members of a worldwide church.

What will you do ?

Facilitate or Support with the following:

Assembly takes place in the school hall every week. It is an opportunity for the Learning Community to meet together to worship and pray, to reflect on our school values and their meaning in our lives, to grow together as a family and to celebrate each other’s achievements.

Thought for the Day is a daily reflection which takes place within each mixed-age Advisory group in their classroom. It is a reflection which draws on scripture, the school values, contemporary issues and students’ personal experience. It may be led by the Advisor, students within the Advisory, or a visitor.

Faith on Friday is a short time of reflection and contemplative prayer delivered by class teachers during Period 1 on Fridays. It is based on the Ignatian Examen and provides a moment of stillness and spiritual reflection for staff and students.

Church services happen several times a year in our parish church, St John the Divine. We go to church for important festivals and special occasions in the life of the school, such as Saint Gabriel’s Day at Michaelmas and the Prefect Commissioning Service.

Chapel worship includes Eucharistic and non-Eucharistic acts of worship, which include prayer stations and Taize services. Governors, students and staff are involved in the design of the new chapel, working with the School Chaplain.

Stillness, quiet, and contemplation are important parts of the Christian tradition and are included in collective worship. Where appropriate, Christian meditation and mindfulness is offered to students and staff.

As an inclusive Christian school, we welcome students of all faiths and no faith and we are delighted that almost all our students, including most Muslim and Hindu students, are able to attend church services and participate in the service as much as they feel able to.

Please note you must be able to satisfy the relevant working with Children and DBS checks.
