Grays Convent High School is a Catholic voluntary aided comprehensive school for girls, described in our recent Ofsted as a good school. Our pupils travel from a wide geographical area to attend this very successful school and our community includes pupils from differing faiths.

We are proud to be successfully empowering young women to realise their full potential.  We achieve this through a stimulating curriculum that is tailored to challenge each individual. 

Quality teaching and enriching opportunities also contribute towards developing and shaping students’ individual aptitudes and interests.

We are committed to providing an inspiring learning environment that is rooted in our Catholic tradition.  Our core values of unity, service, work and prayer underpin all that we do at Grays Convent High School.

‘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.

We combine high ambitions for academic achievement with an emphasis on student’s personal growth and aim for all students to leave Grays Convent High School as confident, independent young women who are ready to make a positive contribution to society.

We are incredibly proud of our former students’ success and are committed to ensuring all Grays students leave us fully prepared for their future careers and are able to maximise the opportunities presented to them.

We invite you to become part of our exciting future and look forward to welcoming you to Grays Convent High School.
