At St. Helen’s College, Hillingdon, the essence of spirituality is about encouraging children to look beyond themselves, to see and appreciate others and the world around them, to reflect on their experiences, and to develop gratitude and the sparkle of wonder and awe about themselves and the world.

Our children are thoughtful and generous, and many charitable activities are arranged each year – some by the teachers, many by the pupils themselves – through which the children can demonstrate their strong sense of service and awareness of the needs of others, and of the world around them.

St. Helen’s College has a Christian background, but we embrace all faiths and beliefs and welcome children from all traditions. Although assemblies are Christian based, we also celebrate events from other faiths so that children gain an understanding and appreciation of different religions. Assemblies often include moments of stillness when children and teachers are able to become quiet and reflective – this can be a very unifying experience.

St. Helen’s College is a co-educational independent prep school in Hillingdon. We embrace all faiths and beliefs and welcome children from all traditions.
