The Ursuline Preparatory School Is An Independent Roman Catholic School That Welcomes Children Of All Faiths And None, In The Belief That Our Ursuline Ethos Will Be Of Benefit To All. The heart of any Roman Catholic school is its Catholic ethos and the commitment it shows to Gospel Values, in Christian service to God and others. We will ensure the ongoing faith formation of all members of our school community, with an emphasis on 'Serviam', in compassionate service to others. We will place equal value on the education of the heart, the mind, and the soul, in the sure and certain knowledge that only through the equal development of all three can you truly become the person you were born to be the best that you can be. The Ursuline Preparatory School, Wimbledon is an independent Catholic school for girls from age 3 to 11 years. Boys aged 3 and 4 are admitted to the Nursery. Deciding on the right school for your child is very important, and we believe that a personal visit is invaluable. The Ursuline Preparatory School, Wimbledon is not an academically selective school. Our selection process is designed to identify pupils who can benefit from our balanced and well-rounded education and to make a positive contribution to the life of the school. Parents are encouraged to visit the school by making an appointment via the Headmaster’s Office. The usual points of entry are into the Nursery at the start of the term immediately following the child’s 3rd birthday or into our Reception Class (4 - 5 years of age, in September after their 4th birthday. Pupils in Nursery may attend either a part-time morning session or full-time (whole day session). We may also have occasional places in other year groups for older pupils. Please contact the Headmaster’s Office for details. Places are offered according to the date on which a completed Registration Form is received, with priority given to Roman Catholic children and siblings. Nursery is considered to be the first class in the school and girls are expected to continue into the Reception Class the following year. Entry to the Reception Class is, therefore, automatic. There are two Nursery classes. We reserve the right to withdraw the offer of a place at our School if information becomes available that contravenes the criteria for admissions. In such a case, an appeal may be made in writing to the Governors. If, in the opinion of the School, a child is not flourishing in the school environment because of a previously known but not disclosed (by Parents or Guardians) learning or behavioral difficulty, a new school may be suggested. If reasonably possible a term's notice will be given by the school. In the event of over-subscription in the Pre-Prep or Prep year group, preference will be given to a sibling of a child already at the School, followed by practicing Roman Catholic children. A child may be placed on a waiting list if the year group is oversubscribed. Parents will then be informed if a place becomes available. We aim for a smooth and gentle introduction to school so that all children are happy, secure, and ready to learn. Before joining children are invited to visit and take part in classroom activities for at least one session or one day. They meet the teachers, become familiar with the classroom situation, and make some friends. A nursery nurse or classroom assistant will support new children. In the term before entry, Nursery children come in for a ‘stay and play session. Older pupils, in Reception, Pre-Prep, and Prep, are assigned a ‘buddy’ – or maybe 2 to facilitate the settling in period. 'Taster days' for entry to the Prep Department are arranged informally to assess pupil need. The Children enjoy a rich diversity of experiences, both inside and outside of the classroom. Through our challenging curriculum, through our full sporting program, through our varied range of outings and residential trips, and our developed range of extra-curricular activities, together with our multiple opportunities to promote the ethos of ‘Service, we help prepare the children fully for the next step in their educational journey, as well as enabling them to look forward to the future with confidence, keen to make a difference in the world. We believe in a close link between home and school, born of the belief that working in partnership with parents is of advantage to all and makes this school stronger.

Ursuline High School, Wimbledon is a voluntary-aided, comprehensive high school for Roman Catholic girls from 11-18. Under the Trusteeship of the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. The school has moved through several phases during its history, from a small private school to a grammar school and on to become the successful comprehensive school it is today. Ursuline High School, Wimbledon was founded from Forest Gate in 1892 when four nuns came to establish a tiny school in a private house in Worple Road. In the beginning, there were three pupils, now there are 1360. Our school has been serving the local community by providing education for Catholic girls for over 100 years. From being a private boarding school, it became a voluntary-aided grammar school in 1944 and a 13-18 comprehensive school in 1968. The standards achieved in academic work and all aspects of the life of young people have been outstanding. The school is fully comprehensive, both academically and socially, and enjoys a strong and supportive community life. In September 2002 the High School became a sixth-form entry 11-19 comprehensive secondary school. Ursuline Sixth Form and Wimbledon College have worked in partnership since 1986 and the joint Sixth Form has over 600 students. Our curriculum is carefully designed to make sure it meets the needs of all our students with an excellent range of options both GCSE and A-Level. Students enjoy school and appreciate its strong community feels and the care and guidance provided to support their personal development. Our school motto is Serviam - I will serve and the service of others is at the heart of our ethos and chaplaincy work. As a Catholic school, we have a rich liturgical life, and students have a strong interest and commitment to social justice issues. We value parents' contributions and aim to ensure they are supported and involved fully in helping their daughters make progress and take decisions about their future. At Ursuline High School we have a dedicated and committed Governor team. As these Governors can be a part of important decisions of the school Ursuline makes sure that they follow council guidelines meaning no possibilities on conflicts or biased decisions occur. Each member of staff or the governing body should ensure that, before they become involved in making a decision, or participate in a discussion or authorizes any transaction on any matter, there are no conflicts of interests that, in the opinion of a fair-minded and informed observer, would suggest a real possibility of bias. In the interests of transparency and accountability, members of school staff and the governing body are required to register in advance interests that are capable of causing conflicts. In addition, about specific decisions, disclosure should be made of any interests that might conflict with their duties. Ursuline High School is a voluntary aided school in the Diocese of Southwark. It is in the trusteeship of the Diocese. The school is conducted by its governing body as part of the Catholic Church under its Trust Deed and Instrument of Government and seeks at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. The school exists primarily to serve the Catholic community and Catholic children always have priority of admission. However, the Governing Body welcomes all applications, particularly from those of other denominations and faiths who support the religious ethos of the school. Girls transferring from Year 6 at Primary School to Year 7 at Secondary School must do so through the London-wide Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme. All applicants must submit the Common Application Form (CAF) to the girl’s Local Authority, as well as submitting the Supplementary Information Form (SIF) directly to the School. If an applicant names the school on the CAF but the school does not receive the SIF, the application will only be ranked against the final 'Other applicants' category. The admission of pupils with an EHC Plan is dealt with by a completely separate procedure. The procedure is integral to the making and maintaining of statements and EHC plans by the pupil’s home local authority. Details of this separate procedure are set out in the SEND code of practice. Parents of children who have not been offered a place at the school may ask for their child’s name to be placed on a waiting list. The waiting list will be operated using the same admissions criteria listed above. Placing a child’s name on the waiting list does not guarantee that a place will become available. This does not prevent parents from exercising their right to appeal against the decision not to offer a place. The Waiting List will be maintained until the end of August 2018. Parents, who wish their daughter’s name to remain on the list from September 2018, must inform the Admissions Officer in writing or by email. A new list will commence in September 2018. It is possible that when a child is directed under the local authority’s fair access protocol they will take precedence over some members of that faith. The school offers a structured program of career advice at each stage of the students’ development delivered through our Personal and Social Health Education program. We have a careers team based in the library to also offer guidance. We aim to create pathways for each student allowing for flexibility, market forces, and the employer demands of the economy. There is independent advice that is readily accessible to parents. Advice on apprenticeships is given by an independent consultant. We invite career speakers in to address the students each term on a range of career pathways. View full school

Build a community based on justice and a sense of personal responsibility while acknowledging the power of healing, reconciliation, and forgiveness, Promote dialogue and co-operation with the wider community. The development of a coherent and integrated approach to all that we do must focus on our core work of teaching and learning. If our structures, systems, strategies, or daily procedures lose sight of this fact we are, quite simply, working on the wrong agenda. Thus the development of Accelerated Learning, and indeed this Teaching and Learning policy is not set in isolation from our other strategies for development. All processes and practices (should) lead us towards the improvement of our capacity to put the learner at the center of our work. View full school

Founded by the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland in 1871, Ursuline was the first Catholic women's College in Ohio and one of the first in the United States. Learn more about our heritage. Though Ursuline College is organized as a non-profit with its own independent Board of Trustees, the institution maintains close ties to its founding religious congregation, the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland. Values, representing your principles of faith and spirituality, will distinguish you as people of integrity from one another and are a vital element to each student's success. Ursuline College encourages students in their quest for self-growth, to heed their voice and express those values. Lastly, Ursuline promotes each student to continually shape their vision in an ever-changing world to move forward in future endeavors. Ursuline College offers holistic education that transforms students for service, leadership, and professional excellence by providing undergraduate and graduate programs that foster lifelong learning and personal wisdom in an environment characterized by: Catholic and Ursuline heritage Women-centered learning Values-based curricula Inclusive, global perspective A premier Catholic institution of higher learning that provides transformative experiences and inspires greatness in our graduates. Ursuline College helps students to achieve their educational and career goals by emphasizing the whole person and providing personalized attention within a liberal arts higher educational environment. While welcoming persons of all faiths, the College is Catholic in its origins, identity, and environment. Instruction and services are based on the dignity of the human person by Catholic social teaching principles. In the liberal arts tradition, an Ursuline education emphasizes critical thinking, clear and graceful expression free, mature judgment and choice and commitment to continued learning. Also, faithful to the Ursuline congregation's contemplative heritage, we perceive contemplation and reflection as integral factors in our search for wisdom. Thus, a distinctly Ursuline education emphasizes a strong foundation in the arts and sciences, fosters the student-professor dialectic with its corollary of shared responsibility, respects the individual student's learning needs, and recognizes the interrelatedness of spiritual vitality and service to the broader community. Acknowledging that the liberal arts are life arts, we help students search for wisdom within the context of theology and philosophy, the fine arts and humanities, and the natural and social sciences. Our career programs build upon this broad foundation to prepare students to serve the community and their professions with distinction and integrity. The institution's primary focus is on the academic preparation of students through an emphasis on excellence in teaching and on scholarship that supports teaching. The College seeks its faculty women and men who are professionally competent, committed to developing a learning community and contributing to its distinctively Ursuline character. As a corollary of our emphasis on shared responsibility, the College seeks to foster a collegiality climate in which all members have the opportunity to influence and participate in decision-making. Today we serve students who reflect a wide range of ages, economic, social, academic backgrounds, and religions. We make a special effort to assess and meet our diverse clientele' needs by providing flexible scheduling and a variety of approaches to learning. Ursuline College also serves the local community by offering programs and facilities for social, cultural, and spiritual enrichment. In all of our services, we strive to integrate the intellectual, aesthetic, social, psychological, physical, and spiritual dimensions of life – the heart of any endeavor to initiate and sustain a search for wisdom. Our mission is to further this life of wisdom in contemporary society and thus contribute to the building up in the history of the Reign of God. Ursuline's student body, including undergraduate and graduate students, is over 1,100. Although we primarily educate women, 9% of our undergraduate student population are men. Approximately 29% of our undergraduate students represent a variety of minority groups. Ursuline College employs qualified full-time and adjunct faculty, most of whom have earned doctorates or other terminal degrees in their study fields. Ursuline faculty members are fully committed to student learning and success. Small class sizes enable students to get to know their professors well, and they can count on their instructors to guide and challenge them during their time at Ursuline. Ursuline College offers more than 30 undergraduate and nine graduate programs. We also offer the opportunity to finish an undergraduate business degree and a legal assistant's degree in an accelerated format. Internships, cooperative education, and mentoring opportunities are available to prepare students for their careers. A Program for Students with Learning Disabilities as well as a Program for Academic Success and tutorial assistance is administered through Academic Support and Disabilities Services. Ursuline College is a Catholic community committed to providing value-based learning and working environments that ensure and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. For 146 years, Ursuline students have accomplished their goals with these words in mind. Your learning experience will be custom-tailored to you, with an average class size that averages 11 students. You will then put that learning into practice by rolling up your sleeves in a vibrant city and digging into internships, clinicals, practicums, service learning, networking, and research. And you will not be alone – Ursuline students completed over 5,600 hours of these activities last year. Given all of this individualized attention and exposure, be ready for lifelong friendships, a higher than average job placement rate and starting salary, and the likelihood to rise further and faster in your career, to name a few.
