The School was founded in 1893 and has been at its present location since 1967. In 1999 an extension was completed which added three new classrooms and library facilities. Further building work was completed in 2006, with the addition of a classroom and dedicated area for Reception Class and Playschool, and a new ICT Suite.   In late 2007 a new all weather pitch was built to extend the School’s sports and winter play facilities.  The grounds themselves are set in a quiet residential area. Links with the community are strong, via the church and fundraising activity.  Money is raised both for the school and for the needy in this country and abroad.  

The ‘aims and ethos’ of the school are summed up in the words ‘To be a welcoming Catholic school, based on Gospel values, where everyone is respected for their faith, talents, needs, personality and home background’.  

The curriculum offered is ‘broad and balanced’ and children excel in both the core and foundation subjects.  Enjoyment of subject matter is enhanced by numerous visits from the school to places of interest and inviting guests in to speak to pupils.

The school takes part in sporting competitions within the borough of Spelthorne and have a good measure of success. Various after school clubs are run and there is provision for pre-school children with a playschool run five days a week, and after school care for working parents until 5.45pm on weekdays.

Surrey is a county of contrasts. Only a short journey from London, it also offers a quick escape into peaceful countryside. This pleasant environment is combined with transport links that include the M3, M23 and M25 motorways, road and rail to London, and easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

In spite of a population of just over a million in a comparatively small area of 650 square miles, 80% of the county is farmland, woods, heath and open land. Although Surrey is a wealthy county, there are areas of relative poverty, particularly around some of the larger towns and a number of schools have pupils with a wide diversity of nationalities, cultures and languages.

For teachers in schools interested in green issues, Surrey County Council promotes environmental awareness with a wide range of initiatives to develop pupils' knowledge and experience.

Sports centres are also plentiful, among them the Spectrum Centre in Guildford, probably the most exciting leisure complex in the UK. Other first-class facilities are available in Camberley, Egham, Lingfield and Oxted.

For cyclists and walkers there is an extensive network of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes and Surrey also boasts high-quality shopping malls, particularly in Kingston, Guildford and Camberley.

The Visit Surrey tourism website gives comprehensive information about all these leisure activities.

Our Mission is simple, it is to make Christ known and for him to be loved.

We are determined to make the lives of our young people better by nurturing their ambition, striving for excellence in all that we do for them to enrich their lives so that they will make the world a better place by becoming the people that God created them to be.

We model our work on the example of service set by Jesus Christ.

We are part of the Diocese of Westminster and our schools currently span the local areas of Sunbury, Ashford, Staines and Twickenham. ACAT was launched in December 2022, and as at December 2022, we comprise six schools, four primary and two secondaries.
