The Laurels School

Established in 2013 by the PACT Educational Trust, it is based in the Upper Norwood area of the London Borough of Croydon in England.

[4] The current building was designed by William Wardell and built in phases in the gothic style to accommodate Virgo Fidelis Convent Senior School commencing at that time.

[4] The convent is part of the Sisters of Our Lady of Fidelity, an international Roman Catholic religious organisation, founded in France in 1831.

[4] Due to financial pressures and lack of funds for building repairs, Virgo Fidelis Convent Senior School closed at the end of the 2021 Summer term.

[12] The school environment reflects a strongly Catholic ethos; a prayer is said at the beginning of every lesson, and alongside a mainstream academic curriculum, girls attend talks on motherhood and family life.
