Christ Church, uniquely in the area, has separate Infant and Junior sites that allow for smaller pupil numbers on each site. This creates a supportive and nurturing atmosphere in which every child is known, contributing to the children's well-being.  Christ Church feels like a small village school but benefitting from the resources and leadership of a larger institution.

Christian Ethos: The school has a strong Christian ethos and emphasises the importance of each child achieving their potential and becoming the person God made them to be. Additionally, it highlights the values of compassion, empathy, and community. The school's Christian foundation contributes to its pupils' moral and ethical development.

Inclusive and Diverse: Christ Church is open to all and believes that the values it promotes are universal. Although it is a church school, less than 10% of Reception places are typically awarded based on church attendance. Everyone feels welcome, and the school has a diverse student body with families of many different cultures, languages, religions, and backgrounds. This multicultural environment encourages understanding, tolerance, and respect. Exposure to different perspectives fosters adaptability and open-mindedness.

Specialised Teaching in Music and Sports: Christ Church has a long tradition of participation in music and sports, with children taught and encouraged by specialist teachers. Most pupils participate in one of the school's choirs, recorder groups, orchestra, or sports teams. The school is committed to ensuring each child has access to a well-rounded education, not just academic success. Participation in extracurricular activities enhances confidence, teamwork, and physical fitness.

Community Engagement: Parents are actively involved in their child's education and school life. Christ Church is supported by its governors and local church, contributing to the school's strong sense of community.

Located on two sites where each site (Infants and Juniors) focuses on the unique needs of its age group. We are a two-form intake school that is small enough to be intimate, but large enough to create planning teams to share insights and expertise, with an exciting curriculum containing attention-grabbing topics, such as ‘heroes and villains'. (We admit 60 children each year into reception (two classes) and 52 into nursery). We are a community committed to empowering children and adults to ‘Become the people God made us to be’ and have very close links with neighbouring schools for training and sharing of ideas.

One of London’s liveliest boroughs. Life revolves around the Thames, with the buzzing market town of Kingston being the main attraction. Kingston High Street runs parallel to the Thames so it many of its favourite restaurants are found situated along the banks of the riverside.

With the popular Kingston University based here there is an abundance of bars and clubs to entertain the vibrant student population and younger residence.

Kingston upon Thames is one of the greener areas of the capital with two royal parks in neighbouring Richmond upon Thames. Local parks hold facilities to cater for all those who enjoy the great outdoors, such as Canbury Gardens which is home to the Kingston Rowing Club boathouse and is in turn a great spot for fishing.

Only half an hour from central London it has excellent train links. Situated near to the A3 and M25 it is also easily accessible by car. The river bus as an excellent alternative to get into Canary Wharf and London Bridge.
