Board of Governors

Prendergast School is proud of its history and heritage. Founded in 1890 under the will of the late Dr Joseph Prendergast, the school’s mission was expressed as a determination to provide excellent education for girls in Lewisham. We adhere to that mission to this day. Dr Prendergast was a member of the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers. Our pupils are very proud of our link to the City Livery Company and the school is grateful for the interest shown by the Company in the continuing success of our pupils.

Indeed four members of the company are Foundation Governors. The pupils of Prendergast School benefit from working with excellent staff in an attractive and well-resourced school. Prendergast is proud of its history but also looks to the future in aiming to provide the best education today for the women of tomorrow. High expectations and a drive for excellence underpin the life of the school both in and out of the classroom.
