Individual, Caring, Inclusive
St Teresa's, Effingham is an independent Roman Catholic day and boarding school for girls aged 8-18, located in the scenic Surrey countryside. Founded in 1928, the school fosters a strong, caring community rooted in Catholic traditions while welcoming pupils of all backgrounds. At St Teresa’s, there is no ‘one size fits all’; the girls are individuals and valued as such. No one is invisible, and every student receives the support and challenge they need to thrive. The school encourages a 'can-do' attitude, offering a wide array of opportunities within and beyond the curriculum to help girls discover new abilities and interests. While academic endeavor is at the forefront, St Teresa's aims to draw out the talents latent in every girl, helping them become the best they can be, achieving first-rate GCSEs and A Levels.
