Description
betaSt Ursula's Convent School, located at SE10 8HN in the Greenwich area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London, is a renowned Roman Catholic secondary school for girls established in 1877 by the Ursuline Order as part of their commitment to providing excellent education to young women. The school carries on the heritage of its founding congregation with a mission to empower every individual to fulfill their potential through academic excellence and by nurturing their unique gifts and talents.
Central to its identity is a positive ethos that fosters students' moral, spiritual, and physical development, and the values of respect, community, and service remain through the school motto "Serviam," meaning "I shall serve". St Ursula's students benefit from an education spearheaded by an Interim Headteacher named Ursula, who is dedicated to maintaining a high standard of teaching and achievement across all areas of learning. The school is well-known for its outstanding behavior, strong student support, and excellent academic achievements. St Ursula's curriculum has a specialism in Humanities and offers GCSEs and BTEC qualifications. Pupils are not just limited to their academic pursuits, as the school also offers the opportunity for Shared Teacher Training, preparing future teachers.
As of January 2023, the school has an enrollment of 634 students and is part of the Greenwich Local Authority, serving the community within the archdiocese of Southwark. The school's journey over the last 145 years has produced notable alumni, including former Labour Party member of Parliament Margaret Moran and artist Adelaide Damoah.
