Description
This is a story of the convergence of two forms of faith in the inner city brought together by the social and religious reconstruction of a neighbourhood that both sought to serve. Highgate, always one of the poorest wards in England, touched the heart of two Victorian priests who built schools and churches to serve the destitute. Twenty-first century educational reformers insisted that children in poor inner-city neighbourhoods could do as well as those in affluent suburbs. The fusion of these faiths has lifted St Alban's School, now Academy, to national distinction.
