An Outstanding Catholic High School For Boys And Girls
It was established in Amhurst Park in 1904 by the Servite Sisters in order to provide education to young women in Hackney. From September 2024, the school will admit boys into Year 7, providing the same high-quality teaching and personal development opportunities that our girls experience.
We invite you to visit and experience the energy and vibrancy of the
school.
