Our aim is to develop well-rounded students with the skills and the personality to make a success of their lives during and after their school years.

Academic excellence is central to life at Saint Felix School and we encourage all pupils to aspire to the highest possible standards and to exceed their expectations. Our success is demonstrated by impressive examination results at GCSE and A Level where the value-added scores are significant. The vast majority of our leavers go on to Higher Education.

The school adopts a non-selective entry policy which seeks to provide an environment where all pupils will thrive academically. We believe in a holistic education that exposes pupils to a wide range of experiences and opportunities with our new co-curricular programme providing extensive opportunities for students to find their areas of passion. We also aim to attract pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds.

At Saint Felix we place great emphasis on the value of Sport, Music, Drama and the Arts for the teamwork, self-motivation and discipline they instil, and encourage pupils to explore their individual talents. Boarding is at the heart of the school; members of staff are encouraged to contribute to the wider life of the school through involvement in the new mentoring system and in the co-curricular programme outside the classroom.
