St. Philomena's Catholic High School for Girls is a Voluntary Aided school in the Archdiocese of Southwark. It is in the trusteeship of the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark and was founded by the religious order of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross of Liège. The school is conducted by its Governing Body in accordance with its Trust Deed and Instrument of Government and seeks at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. The school is run in accordance with the Code of Canon Law promulgated by the Apostolic See and the official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The school makes regular use of the Catholic Liturgy and practices during the school year. We ask all parents and students applying for a place here to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community. The school exists primarily to serve the Catholic community and Catholic children always have priority of admission. The Governing Body welcomes all applications, including those from other denominations and faiths who support the religious ethos of the school. We ask all parents applying for a place here to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community. Having consulted with the Local Authority and other admission authorities, the Governors intend to admit into Year 7, in September 2024, up to 234 pupils without reference to ability or aptitude.
