About Us

Headmaster's Welcome

Located in a spacious 9-acre campus in the university city of Cambridge, St Faith’s is the largest prep school in the city. We deliver a future-focused curriculum across a wide range of subjects which include Coding and Engineering, and subjects are taught by specialist teachers.

To assist and inspire learning, pupils at St Faith’s enjoy excellent facilities, including The Hub, a dedicated STEM building complete with an observatory, Computing suites, Art and Drama studios, Music recital rooms and a multi-purpose Sports Hall.

We keep class sizes small to ensure pupils receive high levels of individual teacher focus, while pupil progress is carefully tracked and monitored, to enable teachers to tailor the education and support each pupil to fulfil their potential.

As part of the St Faith’s and Leys Foundation, St Faith’s pupils are offered a unique opportunity to gain early confirmation of a place at The Leys, while guidance and preparation for a wide range of senior schools is provided as part of our tailored approach to education.

Parallel to delivering academic ambition and rigour, St Faith’s prioritises excellent pastoral care. Each pupil is assigned a Tutor, and Personal, Social and Citizenship Education is timetabled as a specialist subject. A House system, and our pupil led School Council and Eco Committee all provide teamwork and leadership opportunities, while every pupil in Year 8 becomes a School Prefect.

In addition, an ambitious programme of social impact promotes the importance of service to others and a whole school emphasis on equality, diversity and inclusion helps to prepare pupils for their next steps and for life.

I do hope you will find this website offers an overview of what life is like for pupils here at St Faith’s. Please do watch the short video on this homepage to find out more about what a tailored education at St Faith’s can offer. Even better, please do come and see for yourself these qualities which make St Faith’s so appealing. I look forward to welcoming you.
