St Faith's School
St Faith's School is an independent day school on Trumpington Road, Cambridge, England, for boys and girls aged three to thirteen. The headmaster is Dr. Crispin Hyde-Dunn. The school has more than five hundred children. St Faith's is part of The Leys and St Faith's Schools Foundation. It is named after the French martyr St Faith.
The school was founded by Ralph Shilleto Goodchild, a graduate of Christ's College, around 1884. It features in Gwen Raverat's autobiographical account of her childhood, Period Piece.
The Leys and St Faith's Foundation share the motto (In fide fiducia) and coat of arms.
Until the 1990s, most classrooms were in converted Victorian houses. Since then, the school has built Ashburton, opened in 1999, a large red-brick building. Ashburton was so named because the children were evacuated to Ashburton in Devon during the Second World War. The new building contains the School Hall, where assemblies and plays take place. Ashburton Hall's name commemorates the evacuation of some of the boarders during the Second World War to the Golden Lion Hotel in Ashburton, on Dartmoor in Devon.
In June 2006, the School opened a new building for music and technology, named The Keynes Building in honour of old boys Maynard and Geoffrey Keynes.
In May 2011 a state of the art Sports Centre was opened by Geoff Windsor-Lewis, a prominent Old Fidelian.
In November 2018, a £2M STEM facility named 'The Hub' was officially opened by Professor Lord Robert Mair CBE FREng FRS and Old Fidelian. It is designed to link all aspects of STEM education (Science, Maths, Computing, Engineering, Art and Design) in one large multi-functional space.
In December 2020, the School announced that they had appointed Dr. Crispin Hyde-Dunn as the next head of St Faith's, to succeed Mr. Nigel Helliwell who was due to retire in 2021. Dr. Hyde-Dunn joined St Faith's in September 2021.
