Welcome to The Ursuline Academy Ilford

The Ursuline Academy Ilford is a small all-girls sixth form with a long tradition of success. We are a Catholic school but welcome students of all faiths and enjoy a vibrant and diverse school community.We believe that with hard work and tailored support, all students can achieve their full potential. With around 100 students being admitted into year 12 each year, we feel that we get to know our students very quickly and are able to offer them the support they need to reach their full potential.The help, support and guidance on offer extends beyond the classroom and includes extra-curricular programmes and opportunities to help students develop and reach their goals. We are very proud of all our students and have an excellent record of sending our girls to their first choice of university.

We believe it is very important that students have the opportunity and are encouraged to go beyond their taught subjects and take part in a wide range of opportunities. Indeed, a key part of our Catholic ethos is that education should develop the whole person and not just focus on narrow academic outcomes.
