Head Teacher’s Philosophy
We are a Catholic school and our patron, St Philip Neri, is the patron saint of happiness, joy and humour. Whether it be in the classroom, at our vast games fields by the side of the Thames, or in our wonderful garden back at base, we put fun at the heart of everything we do. Our boys work hard too, and are well-taught within a bespoke and broad liberal curriculum. They leave St Philip’s aged 13 ready for the next stage of their education at some of the leading schools in
the country.
