Our students are able to obtain value-added scores significantly above their benchmark target grades.

We are consistently ranked the best performing GCSE school in Ealing (DFE league table).
St Augustine’s Priory is a leading Catholic Independent Day School for girls aged 3 – 18 with boys in the Nursery. The four parts of the school (Pre-prep, Prep, Senior and Priory 6) are located on the same leafy West London site. As a Catholic school, we hold the care of the whole person as central to ALL we do.
The school is set in 13 acres of beautiful grounds with magnificent views. Here girls have the physical, mental and emotional space to grow intellectually in an environment which both supports and provides plenty of challenges. Our results are excellent and we pride ourselves on instilling in girls a love of learning. We are committed to preparing girls for life-long effectiveness and to developing the range of skills they require to achieve long-term happiness and success.
We were founded in 1634 and have been in Ealing for over one hundred years and we represent a wonderful continuity of expertise in educating women of the future. Our founders were exceptional, visionary women who strove relentlessly to offer girls the best education possible; we continue in this tradition. Our girls are dynamic, ambitious and a pleasure to teach. Our staff room is happy, welcoming and supportive of the excellent contribution all our staff members make to all aspects of our busy school life. We offer a broad and varied curriculum with rich opportunities for personal development and training.
