St Chris’ Letchworth 6th form

I think you have to go and see it for yourself and if possible have your son spend a few days there (I think they offer this). It's a very unique school as PP has said, but for some children the style and pace of teaching would just not suit them.

My DD transferred to St Chris I believe different schools suit different kids, it doesn’t have an entrance exam, it doesn’t conform to the competitive male dominated atmosphere of other private schools, there are children there who have struggled in other environments, it’s not about getting the right kids into the school to get the best exam results, it’s about creating the right environment to get the best exam results for your child. My own experience of the school is fantastic - watching my child become the person they were meant to be is joyous. My DD is flourishing at St Chris, working harder than ever, inspired by the supportive teachers, has a great group of friends and her personal horizons have expanded in a few short months. I haven’t noticed a feeling of chaos in any way (I have three children who have all attended different local schools including a good experience at Bishops Stortford College) but if I won the lottery St Chris would be the school I would choose to educate my grandkids…. A unique and special place IMO.

Their 2023 results aren't online yet, for a reason! I know the school well through close friends who are staff there and I wouldn't go near it. They've had 3 Headteachers over the past 4 years and the place is in chaos, with lots of good staff leaving. They failed their inspection at the end of last year (but have since passed). There are lots of better local alternatives, don't waste your money there.
