Maria Fidelis RC Convent School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maria Fidelis RC Convent School is a Roman Catholic secondary school in Camden, London. It is an all girls school, for 11 -16 year olds and has a mixed sixth form.
[edit] History
The school was founded in 1830 by the Faithful Companions of Jesus, and was at first an industrial school financed by charitable appeals. The school then progressed to being a convent boarding school and then to a selective non-fee paying grammar school known as St. Aloysius.
The school became a comprehensive establishment in 1974 with the merger of St. Aloysius with St. Vincent’s Secondary School which was run by the Sisters of Charity. The name Maria Fidelis was chosen by the Sisters meaning Mary Most Faithful and the school motto is Fidelity.
The school today stands on two sites at North Gower Street and Phoenix Road in the Somers Town area of Camden.
