The nuns bought a semi-detached house and bought the rest the following year. This property is known as "Old House" by the school. The nuns who soon became eight were inspired by the vision of their founder who became the school's namesake. In 1862 the school expanded to other buildings. The school had no uniform until 1877. The school grew and in 1892 four nuns left this school to found another Ursuline school in Wimbledon.
