Welcome to Grays Convent High School. Having worked here in leadership roles for the last 23 years, I am pleased to have been asked to be Head of School for this academic year. We are a Catholic school and a family school with a clear vision to empower all young women to find and fulfil their full potential. We are inspired by the work of our founders the La Sainte Union sisters and celebrate and aspire to live by our five core values – unity, prayer, worship, service and work.

Inspiring ambition and achieving excellence’ is at the heart of our community.  Embracing a culture of high expectations, we expect our students to be ready to learn, to work hard and to take pride in their own and their school’s achievements.
