Ivy House School

St. Anthony’s School for Girls educates pupils aged 4-11 in a Catholic environment which is inclusive and open to all faiths.

We share the same ethos and values as our sister school, St. Anthony’s School for Boys, and operate a Pastoral Board which works with the Alpha Plus Group and the school leadership team to ensure the Catholic ethos of the school is nurtured.

St. Anthony’s is both academic and caring. We set high educational standards as well as being deeply focused on nurturing the individual. Our family atmosphere develops respect and compassion, creating an environment in which kindness is a core value. By learning in a setting where our students feel valued and safe, St. Anthony’s girls will grow to be confident and resilient young women, well prepared for the wider world.

Our school is located in Ivy House, a magnificent three-storey building with a beautiful façade, overlooking Golders Hill Park. It is the former home of the prima ballerina, Anna Pavlova and was also at one time occupied by the painter, J. M. W. Turner.

The building has an area of 12,000 square feet, including 14 spacious classrooms which retain the character and charm of the building, a specialist science room and a multi-purpose hall for dining, assemblies and gymnastics. The addition of a barre and mirror creates the perfect space to uphold the building’s history of dance.
