St. Angela's Ursuline Convent School

“The commitment of the staff is reflected in the expectation they have of their pupils. They engender an ethos in which the girls can succeed and encourage them to use all their talents. It is a great school.”

St. Angela's is an outstanding school and this comment from a parent sums up the view of many. Students' achievement in every sense of the word is outstanding. The headteacher, with her direct, hands-on approach, leads by example and provides inspirational leadership to the school. She and her senior leadership team have very high expectations and, with the support of the well-informed governing body, the school continues to maintain exceptionally high standards and go from strength to strength.

The personal development of students is outstanding, as is the students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. In conversations, the students demonstrate politeness and mature social and personal skills. Their behaviour in school is excellent and their attendance outstanding. The Catholic ethos of the school is most evident in the caring and positive relationships that exist. Students show an obvious enjoyment of their schooling, and are at pains to apply themselves in line with the school's motto of 'Serviam'. They make an excellent contribution to the community.
For example, they speak of enjoying acting as Eco-Warriors, and are consulted about aspects of their learning, such as how lessons could be improved, and what topics they would like to learn about.

This is merely an excerpt, please take the trouble to read the full report in which the students and staff take great pride.
