The Vaughan School was founded in 1914 and is England's memorial to Cardinal Herbert Vaughan, the third Archbishop of Westminster.
Situated in Holland Park, West London, the School is one of the highest achieving State Comprehensives in the country. Awarded the Evening Standard Award for Academic Achievement and with Specialisms in Maths, Computing and Science, the Vaughan offers outstanding opportunities to its pupils both academically and in the fields of sports, music and the arts.
Our principal rôle, however, as a Roman Catholic school is to participate in the apostolic mission of the Church by providing a Catholic framework in which children may grow in their understanding and practice of the faith and in which they are prepared to undertake their responsibilities as Catholics in society.
‘You are part of a building that has the Apostles and the Prophets for its foundations,and Christ Jesus himself for its main cornerstone. As every structure is aligned on him, all grow into one holy temple of the Lord; as you too, in him, are being built into a house where God lives, in the Spirit.’
(Ephesians 2, 20-22)
