St. Albans
As the only Church of England secondary school in this area, we offer something
very special: a long tradition of a high quality education which develops the
personality and talents of every child in our care. The school is open to
everyone and you do not have to go to Church to apply for admission. As a Church
of England School, we are very conscious of our mission to provide your daughter
or son with more than just academic success. We are a school with clear
principles and ideals based on a Christian ethos, and this philosophy is central
to our success. Our great strength is that we keep reminding ourselves of what
every parent/carer knows: children learn best when they are happy. We provide a
stimulating learning environment where all children can achieve, whatever their
ability or aptitude. All students are valued as individuals and all flourish in
a community that lives by the Christian values of love, compassion and respect
for each other. We uphold the traditional values of good manners and hard work
and have high expectations of all our students. Our teaching encourages
independent learning and provides students with those skills and qualities which
they need to take them through the 21st century. We instil a love of learning
and offer a wealth of cultural, social and sporting activities through which
your child can find and develop new interests and skills. I look forward to
welcoming you and your son or daughter into our lively and thriving community.
