We are a thriving school in the heart of Brixton, with a community where many have travelled from far and wide to be part of our family. Our values and ethos are based on our aim to provide a high-quality education for our children rooted in Gospel values. We are a happy, enthusiastic and energetic community of learners and we do our best to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment which supports our children to thrive and develop their own unique interests and talents.
At St Helen’s we work hard to ensure our pupils are educated in an environment where all God’s children are valued and it is of our highest priority. As a school we strive to promote equality and celebrate diversity in all its forms and we seek to ensure provision across the school meets the needs and interests of our learners, our families and the community we serve. We do this by trying to ensure our curriculum fully reflects the rich multicultural diversity that makes our school so special and unique.
As a school we also work hard to ensure our outcomes reflect the strong attainment and achievement we know the children are capable of as part of our moral duty to achieve social justice for our pupils. We believe our children have just as much talent and potential as other children, in spite of the multiple barriers, in and out of school some may face. We believe our children and our families deserve our best efforts to make St Helen’s a school that really does makes a difference. Our children are our most important visitors to our school and we want it to be a place where everyone can belong, believe and achieve to their fullest potential in their time here.
