Ursuline College, Westgate-on-Sea

Ursuline College (formerly Ursuline Convent School[1]) is a Catholic comprehensive secondary school with academy status, located in Westgate-on-Sea, in north-east Kent, England, United Kingdom.

The school in Westgate-on-Sea was established in 1904 when a group of Ursuline Sisters fled Boulogne-sur-Mer with a number of their pupils.

[2] In mid-1998, due to social and local pressures from members of the prospective public, the school was reborn as an aided comprehensive for children aged 11 to 19.

A separate school, St. Angela's, was born out of this disconnection, still providing a private education for its younger students, although this later also closed.

The school includes the grade II listed Hatton House,[3] which was built in 1886 as the home of William Jarrett, a tea planter[4] and a chapel and cloisters constructed of Kentish ragstone.
