What are the strengths and weaknesses of St Augustine's Priory Catholic independent school in Ealing. All views welcomed.

I wonder if they are still using the falling to pieces Piers Plowman for geography. It only ever showed 1" of what ever you were studying so for a long time I never knew Canada was joined to the USA.!!!!!!!

Is Miss Dowling still a round???

Very old fashioned (we had bowdlerized copies of Romeo and Juliet when we were oh aboout 14). Lots of pretensions. Appalling A level results in my year.

Chatname - what did you dislike about it (albeit back then). Thank you.

I went there in the 80s. Disliked it. There were some good teachers, which was a redeeming feature. I'm sure it's changed a lot though, this is too long ago to have any relation to what it's like now!

Religious? Actually, my sense is that it isn't particularly religious though clearly as a Catholic independent school this is an important part of its mission. If there are any informed views out there I'd be interested in hearing these.
