Our History

Please enjoy reading about the School’s history below, which is based on the work of two authors, Reginald Snell St Christopher School 1915-1975 and Chris McNab St Christopher School: A Short History. Thanks also to David Cursons, Secretary of the St Christopher Club, for additional information and edits.

If you have photographs you think it would be good to include, or suggestions of key dates we may have missed, please email rhiannon.butlin@stchris.co.uk
