History
History
Alton Convent School was established in 1938 by the Sisters of Our Lady of Providence. The original site of the school was in Normandy Street, London. In 1946, the Town Council acquired Anstey Manor and its land. In turn it sold the manor house and 11 acres to the Alton Convent for £6,000. As a result the school relocated to Anstey Manor House in Alton, Hampshire.In May 2024, it was announced that the school would close at the end of the academic year without reopening due to a 'continued decline in pupil numbers' and a ‘combination of adverse political and economic factors’.
Curriculum
