Coloma Convent Girls' School

Coloma Convent Girls’ School is a Catholic school grounded in our mission: “A community where Christ is at the center as we nurture the pursuit of greatness today in the leaders of tomorrow.” Rooted in a rich tradition of faith, academic excellence, and service, we are committed to forming young women who excel academically, grow spiritually, and live out the Gospel values in their daily lives.

With a proud history spanning over 160 years, Coloma has consistently achieved exceptional academic success. Named Best School in Croydon (2021) and ranked the second-best girls’ comprehensive by The Times (2022), we are also Croydon’s Number One school for progress and attainment (2024), with a Progress 8 score of +0.52.

At Coloma, we believe that every individual is a child of God, called to live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. This belief shapes our school community, where prayer, mutual respect, integrity, kindness, and compassion are at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our school is motivated to make a positive difference through love, commitment, and service, preparing our students to become future leaders who contribute meaningfully to society.
