St Stephen's College was an educational establishment for girls run by the Anglican convent of the Community of St John Baptist in Clewer (Windsor, Berkshire) from 1874. The college took gentlemen's daughters, clergymen's daughters (with a discount on fees), and student teachers.[1]
St Stephen's moved to Folkestone in 1919, but evacuated to Taplow during the Second World War. The buildings in Folkestone were eventually acquired by Folkestone School for Girls. After the war St Stephen's College was re-established in Broadstairs. It closed in 1991.[2]
