History

[edit]

St. Angela's is a Roman Catholic school started in February 1862 by four sisters of the Ursuline order from Belgium.[2]

The school's first science lab was in 1907

The nuns bought a semi-detached house and bought the rest the following year. This property is known as "Old House" by the school. The nuns who soon became eight[2] were inspired by the vision of their founder who became the school's namesake. In 1862 the school expanded to other buildings. The school had no uniform until 1877.[2]

The school grew and in 1892 four nuns left this school to found another Ursuline school in Wimbledon.[2]

In 1907 the school's first science lab was created.

Today

[edit]

St. Angela's is a multi-ethnic, voluntary-aided Language College in the London Borough of Newham. The school population reflects the Catholic population of the borough, which is largely Filipino, Afro-Caribbean, Indian, Sri Lankan, Latino, African and white. 95% of school population are from ethnic minorities. The school had an "outstanding" inspection by Ofsted in 2009.[3]

St Angela's has won national championships in basketball and debating.[citation needed]
