The Campion School is a truly great school with a rich history and tradition. It was established by the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits) with a strong sense of community. St Edmund Campion is one of the most famous English Jesuits who was martyred for his faith in 1581.  Faith and leading a life that is faith-full threads through all that we do in school life.

The school has developed its own distinct Catholic ethos building on the foundation stones laid by The Jesuits over 60 years ago.  The Campion Community now stretches all around the world with ex-students taking all that they learn here at school into the communities that they now serve.  Campion’s uniqueness is its belief in service and community which feature prominently at school and in the character of the students leaving the school.   The Campion School provides an education not just for life in school but beyond so that students make a difference to the communities in which they live.

Students also achieve incredible results both at GCSE and A-Level and we are a highly academic school.  Around 100 girls form part of our Sixth Form which has expanded in recent years.  Sixth Form students play a prominent role in school-life.

The school provides a rich abundance of opportunities for students.  We have a proud tradition in rugby and music but within all the academic and co-curricular activities, students develop the Campion Character.  They learn to enact virtues by being charitable, courageous, forgiving, grateful, honest, humble and resilient.  These virtues become habits which will enable all students to be successful both at school and beyond.

Our School Vision

Developing faithfully in hope and holiness while learning and serving our community through our virtuous actions.

Our Heritage

Founded in 1962 by the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits) in the Diocese of Brentwood.  On opening, students were transferred from St Ignatius School in Enfield.  The Jesuit Priests paid for the school building by saving their money over a 20-year period.

Our Virtues

Through teaching, pastoral support, spiritual development, enrichment and community service students have the opportunities to develop their character through virtuous actions which include being:

Charitable, Courageous, Forgiving, Grateful, Honest, Humble and Resilient

Although there will inevitably be other virtues that we develop, students, staff and governors have identified these plus those within our vision and mission as being unique to our school.

Our Mission Statement

The Campion School is part of the Catholic Community with a shared mission to make Christ known to all young people.  We support families to develop young people that follow in Christ’s example.  Our students, through loving compassionate action, aim to be agents for social justice in society.

Campion students have always taken action to support the community and these actions carry on today through the many charitable activities we conduct. We believe that what the School offers is, above all else, opportunity. We offer our students the opportunity to learn in a safe, secure and nurturing environment, that enables all to make great progress both academically and in their personal development so they become ‘Men and Women for Others’.
