Vita et Pax was first formed in 1936. Our humble beginnings started in two locations: Bramley Road and Heddon Court. The children in Bramley Road were taught by Miss Maura Blans and the children in Heddon Court were taught by the Benedictine Nuns.
By 1938 the school had grown and was then housed at a house on Linden Way in Southgate.
When the war broke out in 1939, the school was evacuated to Huntingdon with Sister Bede.
After the war, Sister Bernard became headteacher.
In 1966 the school building in Priory Close, where the building is today, opened its doors. Sister Lucia was headteacher at this time.
Throughout the decades the school has continued to flourish and grow.
