History

Jesuits, who had already successfully established schools in Northern England. He acquired a plot of land in North Kensington for St Charles College for Boys, a boarding which had been founded by the Oblates of St Charles Borromeo (see Ambrosians) in 1863, and it relocated there in 1874.[4] The college was intended to prepare young men for the priesthood. The short-lived Kensington University College, also founded by Manning, was merged into the school as its "higher department".[5] It closed in 1905 after 42 years in operation.[6] Inspired by Charles Borromeo, Manning named the local parish St Charles, which covers present-day St Charles Square. The old buildings were taken over by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart who opened St Charles Teacher Training College and St Charles Demonstration School
.

The training college was evacuated to Dorchester following the outbreak of

secondary moderns Cardinal Manning Boys School in 1955 and Cardinal Manning Girls School in 1958.[8]

During the 1960s, Cardinal Manning Girls merged with a convent school founded by the Sisters of Sion at Chepstow Villas, Bayswater to form the present-day Sion-Manning School.[9] Following a reorganisation of the Catholic education system within the archdiocese in 1990, Cardinal Manning Boys became St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College but remained on its site.[10]

In September 2018, the school open as All Saints Catholic College with a new year 7 group of 150 students.
