Overview

About St Augustine's Priory

St Augustine’s Priory is a Catholic independent school in Ealing, London, educating girls from Nursery through Sixth Form, with boys in the Preps and Pre-Preps.

The school is set in 13 acres of grounds and is committed to empowering young minds with a strong Catholic ethos.

Our take

Independent girls all-through school in Ealing for ages 3–18. Selective entry.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
