The Convent of the Assumption at Sidmouth, Devon, was a Catholic girls-only, private boarding school. HistoryArrival of the Sisters of the Assumption (1882-1914)The Sisters of the Religious of the Assumption are a Catholic, female order founded in Paris in 1839 by Saint Anne Eugenie Milleret (in her religious life took the name Marie Eugenie of Jesus) along with Fr. Theodore Combalot.[1] The nuns of this congregation arrived in Sidmouth in 1882 first settling at Cottington House, before relocating to their new, purpose-built convent two years later (in 1884).[2] The convent's chapel served the local Catholic parish at this time.[2] A school is established (1914 - 1976)One of the founding motivations for the congregation was the "regeneration of society through the education of girls and women" [1] therefore, when three Belgium girls sheltering from the devastation of the Great War were not able to return home (and were subsequently joined by other girls from Belgium), the sisters decided to begin teaching at the site.[3][4] The first lessons were held on 13 September 1914.[4] The convent's Mother Superior from 1911 to 1928, Ellen Lansdell (9 April 1861 - 18 June 1949), a nun who was also known as Mother Lelia, is credited with starting to teach at the site (along with two other sisters), effectively founding the school.[5] House systemThere were two houses that the students gained admission to once they had achieved high academic and sporting prowess and demonstrated good conduct; these were St. Paul's (green) and St. Peter's (red).[6] British Council associationThe convent school at Sidmouth was the first and only independent preparatory school to be members of the British Council's Education Counselling Service, which accounts for the large international presence from the school's earliest days.[7] Associated people
