Saint Gabriel's College, is a Church of England co-educational secondary school located in the London Borough of Lambeth.
Admissions
Saint Gabriel's College is an 11-16 voluntary aided, co-educational comprehensive school, part of the educational provision of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark and the London Borough of Lambeth. Saint Gabriel's opened in September 2012 and is a Specialist Arts and Music College.[1] The college is small and inclusive offering places to students of all faiths and backgrounds.
History
Charles Edward Brooke was the founder of the predecessor school and also set up St Gabriel's Training College for Women Teachers in Cormont Road. The governors of the college decided on the new name, Saint Gabriel's College, to affirm the past and also signal the college's distinctively Christian yet inclusive ethos. Gabriel the Messenger was said to have used a horn to deliver news and, as the college has a strong musical bias, the college emblem consists of 12 horns.
Charles Edward Brooke was the second vicar of St John the Divine, Kennington. The college still maintains strong links with the Church. In 2013 the vicar of the Church is serving on the college governing body as the Vice-Chair of Governors.[2]
Locations
The college has two sites located within close proximity of each other: Langton road, Camberwell and Cormont Road, Camberwell. The school is currently located in a temporary building on Cormont Road while a brand new school building comes up on the Langton Road site. The school is expected to move to its new building on Langton Road in October 2018.
