Headteacher’s Welcome
A strong mind needs a strong heart...
Welcome to Saint Christina’s. Nestled between Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park in the heart of St John’s Wood, we are a vibrant independent preparatory school for boys and girls aged 3-11.
Our identity as a co-educational Catholic school is shaped by an open and inclusive spirit, welcoming children of every background, belief, and story. Rooted in the true meaning of Catholic: universal, we celebrate the richness of our diversity, with kindness woven into the very fabric of our community. This is the golden thread that guides us - our compass, our core value, and the foundation of how we live, learn, and lead together.

FOLLOW USMy daughter is leaving Saint Christina’s academically prepared, but more importantly, imbued with the school values and knowing the importance of using these to drive the way she lives her life.
Saint Christina’s provided a nurturing and caring environment where our daughters thrived. From EYFS to KS2, the emphasis on pastoral care, arts, sport, and academics supported their all-round development. The strong parent community and wonderful playground make it a truly special place – especially for a school in Central London.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a gem. The staff go above and beyond to nurture every aspect of a child’s growth – academic, emotional, and social. Our son absolutely loves coming to school and has flourished in every way.
Choosing Saint Christina’s was the best decision we made. The children are taught values, stretched academically, and nurtured with exceptional care. Thanks to the school, they are confident, kind, and ready for their next adventures – with deep roots and lifelong friendships.
There’s nothing more reassuring than seeing your child skip into school every morning. Saint Christina’s is a place where children are stretched, supported, and part of a kind, aspirational community.
From day one, we felt supported and welcomed by the entire community. Our children are excited to go to school, and we’ve watched them flourish thanks to the warmth, dedication, and passion of the staff.
What makes Saint Christina’s truly special is the way every child’s wellbeing and happiness comes first. Our younger son arrived without English and is now thriving; our older son has grown in every way. The care and professionalism of the staff is exceptional – we are deeply grateful.
This school gets it right – a truly well-rounded education that nurtures curiosity, academic strength, and emotional wellbeing. The pastoral care is exceptional, and the community spirit lifts every family. We couldn’t ask for a better prep school.
Saint Christina’s is a beautiful school – not just in appearance, but in values. It nurtures children while grounding them in kindness, respect, and integrity. What more could you wish for your child?
