St. Jude’s CE Primary School

St Jude’s is a one form entry primary school nestled in the centre of Herne Hill, where the Christian ethos is at the heart of all that we achieve.  Because we are a small, friendly school, children are able to develop a strong sense of belonging within our special community. Our curriculum is exciting and aspirational.  It provides children with the opportunity to explore, enquire and reflect.  Children not only flourish academically but also through creative arts, music and sport.  St Jude’s achieves excellent results that are well above the national and local averages.

In the summer of 2018 we were awarded an outstanding grade in our SIAMS inspection – where the inspectors noted that our school is “incredibly inclusive, peaceful and happy.”  We have also been awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark and On Line Safety Mark.

Every day we enjoy our newly opened Creative Learning Hub, which is a large purpose built space for our daily breakfast club and after school club, as well as providing an excellent teaching space for food technology, music and art lessons.

We run a highly successful NQT programme with other Church of England Primary Schools – which has been carefully tailored to the needs of newly qualified teachers – so that they are supported with high quality training to begin their careers in Lambeth.    We are also part of The Windmill Cluster of Schools – a highly effective and successful collaboration with ten other local primary and secondary schools.  All of our staff benefit from training, support and professional development through this collaboration. Staff at all levels receive bespoke training, including support staff who are inspired to become an expert in an area linked to their role.

We offer a huge range of after school clubs and provision – including ukulele, netball, football, fun and games and arts and crafts.  We are hugely successful in local sports tournaments including netball, football and cricket.

We enjoy the support of a very active PTA who raise funds and organise a range of events and activities throughout the year, and our school governors are supportive and visit our school regularly.  We enjoy close links with St Matthew’s Church and Herne Hill Baptist Church where we celebrate Christmas and Easter Services.

We have free car parking available to staff, and there are excellent transport links from Herne Hill and Brixton.
