Description
The Holy Cross School is leading State Secondary school for kids age 11 to 18 years (Gender - Girls)
Since 1931, generations of young women from across Kingston upon Thames and beyond have been proud to receive a first class education in this vibrant and caring school. The education they offer underpins the spirit of the pioneering Sisters who first established the school – to inspire students to work hard, identify their gifts and talents and aspire to greatness. This ethos which permeates every aspect of the school life, entrusted to us by Sisters of the Holy Cross is lived out in our Mission Statement every day. Based on the distinctive Catholic ethos, They are an inclusive and values driven school community promoting trust, tolerance, respect and kindness. They work in partnership with our families. They celebrate each and every student’s individuality and unique talent, developing their full holistic potential across a wide range of academic and extracurricular areas. Through high aspirations, they encourage our girls to aim for excellence, to learn joyfully and to live fully. Whilst excellence is a key priority in our school, so too is compassion for others, kindness and a deep seated desire to support those who are disadvantaged.
