Welcome to La Sainte Union, where we are proud to offer an exceptional Catholic education for young women aged 11-18, alongside a mixed sixth form that is part of the renowned LaSWAP Consortium.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Hampstead Heath on our beautiful Georgian campus, we provide an inspiring and nurturing environment that encourages every student to develop a greater understanding of the bright woman she is and to achieve a bold future of her choice.
Our ambitious academic curriculum, delivered by passionate and forward-thinking staff, empowers our students to excel in a wide range of disciplines, from the traditional to the creative and entrepreneurial. The results speak for themselves we have consistently placed at the top of the league tables in Camden and achieve consistently positive Progress 8 scores.
We combine academic excellence with exceptional pastoral care, ensuring every student is known, valued and celebrated as a unique individual. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive environment where our girls are encouraged to take risks, learn from challenges and grow in confidence.
