St Teresa's Effingham is a thriving Day and Boarding School with a focus on strong pastoral care and individual , situated in 55 acres of outstanding natural beauty in the Surrey countryside. There is easy access to London by road or rail (40 minutes), with Gatwick & Heathrow airports within a 35/40 minute drive.
A selective Independent Boarding School for girls aged 8 to 18 and over 580 pupils, all denominations are welcome. Around 10% are international pupils, with full boarders not only coming from the UK but also all over the world, including Spain, South Korea, Mexico, Germany, Nigeria, France, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Uzbekistan and South America.

Academic results are excellent right across the board. St Teresa's Catholic Foundation ensures the pastoral care the girls receive is second to none, giving them the security needed for all-round achievement. The beautiful site and excellent modern facilities, to Heathrow, Gatwick, and with the provision of school buses locally, make it accessible for day pupil and boarders alike.
The broad curriculum and wide range of extra-curricular activities make St Teresa's an exciting to be. What the school is known for? Small enough for each girl to be known individually, yet large enough for vibrancy and diversity, St Teresa's has a record of exceptional pastoral care and outstanding academic results, adding remarkable value to our girls.
