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]
