St Augustine’s Priory is a visionary Catholic Girls’ School, founded in 1634 and situated for over 100 years in 13 beautiful acres of land in Ealing.
Our founding story is inspirational – it tells of the ability to be agile and to adapt to rapidly changing times with integrity and grace. As a Catholic school our faith matters to us because our world needs people who can use their voices for others. Pupils of all faiths are actively welcomed, and we all learn from each other through dialogue and respect. Pupils here are part of a community and leave us rooted in values which make them effective in their personal and professional lives.
All of our pupils from Nursery to Sixth Form benefit from our outdoor space with an unrivalled freedom to enjoy growing up and cherish our common home. We are the only school we know of in West London with a working farm, Chapel and all sporting facilities on site.
An outstanding education for the future hinges on self-confidence, collaborative skills, emotional intelligence and self- awareness. All of these skills are embedded at St Augustine’s Priory, alongside a love for learning and outstanding academic results. Our girls go on to the best universities: from Oxford, Cambridge and Durham to other world-class universities such as Bristol, Edinburgh, Exeter, King’s College and University College London.
The tangible happiness and energy in our school is proof that while we are living in troubled times and adapting to unprecedented technological and social change, we need to equip our children to create a future where they are the change makers. As St Augustine said:
“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are”
