Please contact the school office to arrange a visit, or 020 86936852. Our school is a well-established Catholic Primary school that has welcomed families from East Dulwich and surrounding parishes since it was originally founded in 1883.
We are a happy and successful school that is ambitious for each and every child; ensuring that they grow socially, emotionally and academically from their starting points. The children tell us that they love to be here and we are very proud of them and their achievements. Ensuring each child belongs, thrives and achieves are at the heart of all we do.
Key to our school's success is our partnership with parents and carers. A warm welcome, a listening ear and open-door approach ensures that children feel happy and can achieve. Our school is a bright, modern and vibrant learning environment with spaces for outdoor learning and play.
We are conveniently located on Barry Road, enabling us easy access to the wonderful resources in our local community as well as the excellent transport links to London.
