Maria Fidelis Catholic School FCJ

Welcome from the Head

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.

    I have recently joined the school, which is my first in London. I must say that I have been welcomed very warmly by fellow classmates in a new and vibrant city like London. My class have been very pleasant and welcoming to me. When I started my association with it, I was a little apprehensive about my Indian accent. I thought that many people may make fun of it but surprisingly, nobody made my accent the subject of a joke. After I joined the school, I instantly liked my maths teacher Ms Xu, and Ms McInerney. They guided me in my subjects and helped me settle down in a new place. I think I have gained a lot of confidence in very little time. Recently I was given the responsibility to help another new student who joined the school after me. I was able to extend a helping hand to her because I have become comfortable with my school and its regimen. I am very excited to be a part of music and sports classes which are intense and focused on team building. I am also liking my Spanish lessons. My classmates are very different from my old classmates in India. They come from different parts of the world with many interesting and different ideas of learning and thinking. I am enjoying this diversity here and am eager to learn good practices from other cultures as well.

    Maria Fidelis has supported me with my decisions, and they have offered me numerous opportunities. I have gone on many trips and I was even selected to join the 'Brilliant Club'. This allowed me to learn more about science and my passion for the subject grew.

    My seven years at Maria Fidelis have been nothing short of wonderful, but the sixth form has been my favourite. The variety of A level subjects offered is fantastic, and the teaching team as a whole is incredibly friendly, approachable and helpful. With the help of my teachers, the application process for university has been made fairly simple for me, allowing me to be confident in the steps I am taking towards my future and to flourish as a young adult.
