About Archbishop Tenison's School

Tenison’s has many strengths, rooted in its Christian foundation. 

The sense of belonging to a Christian community with a long and proud history underpins all we do. 

Success is we believe about more than purely academic achievement. It is also about supporting a spiritual journey that will last a lifetime, creating happy, enthusiastic and successful young people who can lead spiritually-fulfilled lives. 

Being a Christian foundation means we build an inclusive community where all are welcomed, those with faith and those with none - and all are encouraged to achieve their full God-given potential.
