Academisation

Updated Information Regarding Academisation

The  Archdiocese of Southwark’s vision is for all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese to join one of five Catholic Academy Trusts..  St Philomena’s Catholic High School for Girls is continuing its work to join a Catholic Academy Trust. You may be aware on the Department for Education (DfE) database that the school’s establishment status is listed as "Open, but proposed to close" with a date of 31 January 2027. Please be assured that St Philomena’s is not closing. This is administrative language used whenever a maintained school converts to an academy.    

Thank you for your understanding.
