st bernard's high school
Essex,
There has been a Catholic school on the site since 1875 but, it was in September
1910 that a group of Bernardine Sisters took over the premises and created St
Bernard’s Convent High School. To celebrate this centenary, three members of
staff have written a history of the school. The book covers each decade of the
centenary period, setting them into their historical context, and filled with
contributions from former students and staff. The book also provides a
fascinating photographic record of the life and development of the school. While
of particular interest to those with links at the school, the book also provides
a unique and absorbing study for anyone interested in educational developments
and life over the previous century. There are still some copies of the book
available. Please contact the School on 01702 343583 if you would like a copy.
