History

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 St Angela's convent, first science lab 1907.jpg
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.
