We are honoured to be the first state-funded Greek Orthodox secondary school in Britain. Anglican, Roman Catholic and other Church schools are very much respected by parents; and we have been delighted to join them, making our contribution to the high academic standards and values-based education with which Church schools are associated nationally.
In common with most Church schools, a daily act of collective worship is fundamental to the organisation of St Andrew the Apostle. Assemblies are held for the whole school twice a week and in tutor or year groups on the remaining days. We actively encourage an understanding and respect for all faiths and our assemblies draw on the musical and choral traditions of many Christian churches; supporting our students as they develop into respectful and well educated young people.
Our school motto is 'Ever to Excel'
