Saint John the Divine Primary School

Saint John the Divine School is a very popular primary school, with a strong Christian ethos and family atmosphere. Many families feel connected to the parish church, though many attend other churches, and have good relationships with the parish clergy who offer pastoral support. Children come to church regularly for mass and teachers use the church and its resources to help deliver the curriculum. There are some 40 children from the school who sing in the church choirs, a project which has brought many more school families into regular contact with the parish. The Headteacher is Mrs Catherine Warland.

Saint Gabriel's College

Saint Gabriel’s College is our parish secondary school. As a Church of England voluntary aided school, governors appointed by the Church are in the majority and there is a very strong relationship between St John’s church and both schools. Students come regularly for worship and members of our congregation support the schools in a variety of ways.

Saint Gabriel's has an inclusive Christian ethos based on values of service to others, generosity of spirit and commitment to excellence. The school is very proud of its diversity which includes students and staff from all over the world, from a range of Christian traditions, other faiths and no faith. 25% of places are reserved for students who are regular churchgoers; students who attend St John the Divine church have first priority. Father Alan Paterson CMP will arrive as our new school chaplain in May 2024, and the Principal is Nick Butler.

Students at Saint Gabriel’s College are very active in London Citizens, and developed the idea of a ‘Refugees Welcome School’ that commits to prepare children for the arrival of refugees, make arriving children feel welcome, and to engage with the community to promote resettlement.  As a result of their idea there is now a nation-wide network of Refugee Welcome schools.
