PREP

Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

School Description

St Christopher’s School is located close to the centre of Canterbury in a large, four-storey Victorian semi-detached house. The headteacher, known as ‘The Master’, is one of the proprietors. St Christopher’s School provides non-selective education for girls and boys aged between three and 11. There are currently 85 pupils on roll. The proprietor has formed a school advisory board made up mainly of invited parents with relevant skills, experience and expertise. Approximately 8% of pupils have SEN and/or disabilities. No pupils have an education, health and care plan. None is in the care of the local authority.

Progress monitoring visits have taken place in March 2015, January 2016 and October 2016.
