About Gumley House School FCJ
GUMLEY HOUSE SCHOOL FCJ
Gumley is a school with a long tradition of educating girls (and boys in the Sixth form) to make a difference to our world. The school was established in 1841 by Marie Madeleine d’Houet, foundress of the Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ) an international society of Catholic sisters working in many parts of the world. In the UK there are five FCJ schools; each with its own identity but bound together by the tenets of the FCJ Philosophy of Education based on Ignatian principles.
Six core FCJ values of companionship, dignity, justice, hope, excellence and gentleness are at the heart of our work with young people and with each other.
Gumley is a vibrant learning community where students and staff learn and thrive together. The ethos of academic and personal excellence prepares our students to confidently achieve their education and career aspirations in the global world. Vision and innovation form our central pillar of learning and our Sixth Form reflects the fact that our students are approaching adulthood and encourages independent study in an attractive environment.
Our students are provided with a broad and balanced curriculum which recognises the importance of creativity and the arts as well as making sure that maths and science are taught by well qualified specialist teachers. Our students are supported by an outstanding pastoral team led by one of our Deputy Headteachers who work with Heads of Year, Pastoral Managers, Chaplains and school counsellors to provide a safe environment for all to flourish.
Gumley’s academic results reflect our tradition of achievement, the students’ high levels of ambition, parental support, as well as the challenging teaching and dedication of the staff. The vast majority of our students are accepted at their first choice university including Oxbridge, reading a wide variety of subjects. Some also attain scholarships or high level apprenticeships with companies such as SKY, PwC and Lloyds of London.
At the heart of our education is the belief that whole person development is paramount. Thus, we strive to provide our students with inspiring opportunities and a wide experience through extra-curricular activities.
Gumley is situated on a beautiful site with excellent facilities. This creates a peaceful uncrowded environment in which our students are encouraged to live by our motto: ‘Vive ut Vivas’ - ‘Life in all its fullness’ and grow into their best self.
