Description
betaGumley House RC Convent School, situated in Isleworth, Hounslow, West London, is a premier Roman Catholic secondary institution for girls aged 11 to 18. As a product of the Sisters of the Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ) who established the school in 1841, Gumley House has established a solid reputation and illustrious history.
With accreditation as an Academy since 2012, the school boasts specialisms in business and enterprise, as well as language education. The educational framework is enriched by the school's joint sixth form with Gunnersbury Boys' School and St Mark's Catholic School, providing a comprehensive education experience for students in grades 12–13.
The school's motto, "Latin: Vive Ut Vivas (Live that you may have life)," expresses a deep commitment to fostering a well-rounded education that leaves students wanting "life" itself. Gumley House Convent School has an enrollment of approximately 1,187 students and is governed by the local authority of Hounslow. It retains strong ties with the local parish church Our Lady of Sorrows, as well as with St Bridget of Sweden Church and is recognized for its academic excellence.
Aside from its tradition as a Catholic school, Gumley House responds to contemporary education demands, with its sixth formers required to wear business-style clothing while allowing for some latitude in dress. The formal school uniform, adopted in 2015, includes a brown, blue, and gold blazer, which is now a mandatory requirement for all new students.
The school's website, www.gumleyhouse.com, not only provides information about enrollment and upcoming events but also profiles exemplary students who have distinguished themselves in the fields of pioneering medicine, conquesting stage and theater, intrepid exploration, debating, and many other areas. With a strong commitment to continued growth and development, Gumley House Convent School has one of the top performances among state schools in the London region.
