Welcome from Matthew Judd, Head
At the heart of Christ’s Hospital is a deep and enduring belief in the potential of every young person. Rooted in a rich heritage of educational opportunity, scholarship and social responsibility, our school is much more than a place of learning – it is a community where students are known, supported and inspired to become their most courageous and compassionate selves.
From the moment you arrive and experience our extraordinary campus and vibrant student life, you sense that Christ’s Hospital is a school like no other. We are immensely proud of our unique heritage and centuries-old charitable mission – but equally proud of the way we prepare young people to meet the future with curiosity, kindness and purpose.
Learning here is not confined to the classroom. Our students thrive in an environment where intellectual challenge is balanced with creativity and compassion; where academic ambition is supported by rich opportunities in music, sport, drama, outdoor adventure and community service. Every student is encouraged to explore who they are and who they might become.
Our commitment to social responsibility is not just taught – it is lived. We remain dedicated to ensuring that children from all backgrounds can benefit from the outstanding education we offer. As a result, our community is enriched by diversity and united by shared values of integrity and empathy.
As Head of Christ’s Hospital, I am inspired daily by the energy, creativity and resilience of our students. They leave CH not only well prepared for the next steps in their education – with 98% progressing to university – but also equipped with the character, confidence and sense of responsibility needed to make a positive difference in the world.
I warmly invite you to visit us and discover for yourself what makes this school such a special and transformative place.

Our mission
Challenge inequality by providing a nurturing, transformative education for young people from all backgrounds.
The generosity of our benefactors has built up a valuable endowment over the centuries. However, Christ’s Hospital’s commitment to provide more bursary support than any other independent boarding school in the country exceeds the annual income from its endowment assets.
Philanthropy therefore remains central for Christ’s Hospital to continue to transform lives for future generations.
