Saint Ambrose College is a Catholic state-funded Independent Grammar School with a selective intake. As a state-funded school, there are no fees.

The main team sports are rugby, cricket, and athletics, but there are numerous other sporting activities and clubs on offer, many of which make use of our swimming pool. At St Ambrose College, we believe in a broad curriculum offer to ensure that the boys ‘have life to the full’ and this is reflected in the opportunities to engage with the Creative Arts both inside and outside of the classroom. Boys are actively involved in the liturgical life of the College and develop the Catholic Spirituality through liturgical celebration.

Through the Edmund Rice International Group, Justice and Peace Group and other charitable and immersion opportunities, the boys ensure that the Essentials of Edmund Rice education relating to compassion and concern for others are visible in daily College life. There are over 1000 boys on the College roll, including 200 gentlemen in the Sixth Form.
