Westgate Ursuline Alumni Association

The Westgate Ursuline Alumni Association is for all former pupils, staff, parents and friends of The Ursuline College and its predecessors - the Ursuline Convent School and St Augustine’s College.

Ursuline Main Building 02

About Us

The school, founded in 1624 in Boulogne-sur-Mer, relocated to Westgate in 1904 after Catholic schools were banned in France. In 1995, it became Ursuline College when boys from St Augustine’s College and Abbey School joined following their school's closure.

The Alumni aims to foster lifelong friendships formed at the school, offering a platform to stay connected. The website, still in development, plans to include sections for photos, archives, stories, event details, and Alumni membership opportunities.
