School mission and values

Westminster City School has a long history of educating young people in London.

Our mission

Westminster City School offers exceptional learning opportunities, promoting wisdom, integrity and excellence within an inclusive and compassionate community.  Our dynamic Christian foundation and rich heritage help equip each person with the life-skills needed to flourish.   

Our values

All members of our School community – students, parents/carers, staff and governors – be they of the Christian faith, of other faiths or of no faith, are bonded by the four values that underpin this purpose:

Wisdom

We nurture wisdom by developing academic habits and skills, emotional intelligence, resilience and creativity in all.

Teach me good judgement and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments. (Psalm 119.66)

Integrity

We foster integrity by encouraging all young people and adults in our community to match words with deeds, fulfil commitments, and take responsibility for their behaviour.

Show yourself in all respects a model of good works, and in your teaching show sincerity, dignity, and sound speech (Titus 2.7)

Compassion

We cultivate compassion by valuing each person in our community and empowering them to share their gifts and aspirations.

I give you a new commandment that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. (John 13.34)

Excellence

We develop excellence by ensuring all in our community do their best, take pride in achievements, and are open to change and learning from others.

Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10.31)
