A Warm Welcome To St. Francis’ College

Set in the midst of Letchworth Garden City, St. Francis’ College has been providing a first-class education for girls for over 90 years, blending traditional values and a modern vision. Our campus is situated in the heart of leafy Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire, within walking distance of the railway station and a short drive from the A1M. Letchworth is conveniently situated between north London and Cambridge.

The College is a vibrant, warm, and friendly community where relationships (and dreams) really matter. We are extremely proud of the meaningful relationships that exist between students, their teachers, and our parent body. It is the power of these relationships which produces students who achieve extraordinary academic outcomes, but who are also well-rounded, gifted in several areas and who enter the world as confident, kind and determined individuals.

We are a diverse and inclusive community where students are taught the importance of kindness, tolerance, and respect for themselves, for others and for their learning. We welcome families of all faiths and of no faith.

Join Our Team

At St. Francis’ you can expect to work alongside passionate, committed, and supportive colleagues – whether that be in a teaching or a support role. We provide an excellent education for pupils, and we need outstanding teachers, nursery teachers and support staff to help us continue to do that. We are also committed to providing an inspiring environment for staff. If you are seeking a career in education, combined with professional growth, then St. Francis’ might just be the ideal environment for you.

This is an exciting time to join the team at the College. The academic year commencing September 2024 sees the launch of our unique St. Francis’ Curriculum 24, which has been specifically crafted to ensure our students thrive in a different world through the development of vital personal skills such as critical thinking, adaptability and analytical abilities. With as much focus on personal development as on academic success (our academic results are consistently outstanding), our character-based curriculum is designed to:

· Build self-confident, ambitious young people.

· Develop modern and global citizens of the future.

· Help students embrace a changing workplace by developing the core skills of creativity, collaboration and communication.

· Empower students by offering significantly more individual freedom than at other schools on the subjects they decide to study at GCSE.

· Inspire students to dream bigger and equip them to achieve their goals by instilling our DREAMS values: determination; resilience; empowerment; appreciation; motivation; security.
