Our school began serving the local Catholic community in 1830 under the direction of Marie Madeleine D'Houet, founder of the religious order, the Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ). The sisters are still involved in our school today, serving on our Governing Body and contributing to the spiritual life of the school.
The Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do at our school. Each day begins with time for prayer, often using the school’s online prayer resource as a source of guidance; we also have weekly assemblies and mass is celebrated throughout the year.
We encourage all our students to engage in extra-curricular activities. We currently offer: Basketball; Boxing; Chess Club; Choir; Dance; Debating; Duke of Edinburgh; Drama; Film Making; Football; Netball; The Empty Vault; Textiles; and Volleyball.
Maria Fidelis is situated in a convenient location between Euston and Kings Cross train stations, which makes it very easy to reach. The British Library, Francis Crick Institute, Wellcome Trust, UCL, SOAS, LSE and Central St. Martin’s School of Art are all within a five-minute walk of the school.
