Christ Church CofE Primary School

On behalf of our staff and children, I offer you a warm welcome to our schools, Christ Church and Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Schools.

I am fortunate to lead two wonderful schools in the heart of Chelsea.

The Federation of Christ Church and Holy Trinity comes into effect from 1st September and means that our schools will work very closely together with a shared Leadership Team and curriculum. One Governing Body will set the strategic direction for both schools and will be dedicated to focusing on ensuring each child will have a wonderful education experience in whichever school they attend.

The schools have the advantages of functioning, day to day, like one form entry schools, small is beautiful! We aim to make very safe and caring environments where everybody knows your name and something about you. The children will also have a sense of belonging to a bigger partnership of learning. Teachers and other staff will have support from colleagues working in similar roles across the two schools.

The two schools have distinct church leadership from the Parish of St Luke’s and Christ Church and that of Holy Trinity and St Saviour. Christian values are very much shared and are clear in all that we do. We aim to instil qualities of forgiveness, empathy and respect in all of our children. We believe in teaching that inspires children to love learning and life.

We aim to create inclusive environments where being different but belonging together is key to our ethos. We dedicate ourselves to raising achievement for every child.  All children have their own strengths, gifts and talents and we feel these should be capitalised on so that children have positive self-esteem and achieve the very best that they can.

Creating and maintaining a close relationship between home and school is vital to a child being successful in their learning and we ask parents to be very supportive of our work as they are the primary educators.
