Paddock House Convent Grammar School amalgamated with Holy Family Secondary Modern School to become Mount Carmel Comprehensive School .
Initially Mount Carmel was on two sites , the Paddock House site and the Holy Family site .
When the building in Fern Gore was enlarged Mount Carmel became a single site school .
The buildings of the old Paddock House School were demolished .
The Paddock House Convent continued for a number of years until the nuns left to work elsewhere .
The Convent was demolished .
There is housing now on the sites of the school and the convent .
