It takes a village to raise a child

A life well lived is one with purpose and ours is to serve our children and instil a love of learning and a search for truth. This learning journey is not one we undertake on our own. It takes a village to raise a child. It takes our community to educate ours. We look forward to your partnership on this road with us.

We are a happy, diverse, dynamic community, rooted in a rich past with a bright, exciting future. Nearby Queen Mary University is just a walk away, as is City Airport, and from Canary Wharf to Shoreditch and Brick Lane, opportunities for our children abound. Read more about our vision here

Philosophy for Children

Not so much Plato and Wittgenstein as learning how to engage in balanced argument in an increasingly polarised world. P4C shifts the dynamic in the classroom to embrace the child's perspective.

Storytelling

Understanding the core structure of stories helps children not only in reading and writing, but in all other areas of the curriculum and in personal communication.

A Green Oasis

Children plant and harvest vegetables and fruits, feed the chickens and turn the compost! The school is an oasis of vegetation in the heart of the inner city.

Worship at St Saviour's

Opportunities for prayer and reflection

Christian values underpin everything we do. We have regular worship within the school day, and have very close ties with our local church, All Saints. We also welcome those of other faiths, believing that the structure that faith provides can benefit all.

Our Story

Poplar has a fascinating history, and the story or St Saviour’s is a mirror for the themes that have shaped life here since Victorian times. The original building in Northumbria Street was built in 1865. Rising high above the slums around, it was intended as a beacon of learning and advancement in a notoriously poor area. Damaged by air raids in the Blitz, the old school was finally demolished and a new building erected in Chrisp Street in the 1950’s.
