Overview
Overview
A shared early-years foundation leads into a girls' senior education at St Augustine's Priory. The Catholic setting in Ealing runs from Nursery to Sixth Form, with co-educational Pre-Prep and Prep followed by girls' Senior School provision from Year 7. The registered age range is 2 to 18, with no boarding, and faith life sits alongside academic and community activity.
Years 7 to 9 begin with subject specialists, including separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and a choice of two modern languages from French, Spanish and Russian. Pupils can contribute to Veritas Times, join subject societies and academic clubs, and pursue the HPQ or EPQ. The curriculum therefore combines a broad subject base with structured opportunities for independent work.
Priory Sixth joins A levels with academic mentoring and weekly Core RE. Options span STEM, humanities, languages and creative arts, while Model United Nations, the UK Maths Challenge, Mock Trial and travel scholarships add opportunities for speaking, research, performance and experience beyond ordinary lessons.
Admissions vary by stage: Nursery applicants attend an informal play session; separate arrangements apply to Reception and primary years; Year 7 uses the London 11+ Consortium route; and Year 12 entry is through Priory Sixth. The staged process mirrors the school's unusual transition from shared early education to a girls' senior and sixth-form pathway.
