St Francis’ College

Education is not just about academic endeavour, despite being a medium sized school we have county, regional and national team representatives in sports such as badminton, tennis, athletics, hockey, netball and swimming. The girls excel in a range of performing arts dance, drama and music from choirs to orchestras to rock bands. The art department covers a wide range of disciplines from drawing, painting and sculpting to photography. St. Francis` College is a distinctive school, possessing a remarkable charm. Many visitors say that we “feel different”. We believe this is because our founding traditions continue to reinforce the values that lie at the heart of our community: academic rigour, trust, respect, integrity and responsibility. In our life and work, in the care we give and receive, there is a noticeable unity of purpose. Our girls call it “a St. Francis` thing”, meaning that even if you are busy, you will always make time for others, demonstrating unending patience, kindness and support. Our founders called it: “One heart, one soul”.
