Welcome to St. Helen's School

St. Helen’s is an independent girls’ day school of more than 1,150 students aged from 3 to 18.

We aim to give every pupil an academic, innovative and stimulating education, developing her intellectual, creative and physical talents to the full. We provide a friendly, supportive and well-ordered environment in which every girl is treated as an individual and where integrity, personal responsibility and respect for others are highly valued. Girls are encouraged to make a positive contribution to the school and the wider community, both as individuals and as team players.

Girls achieve high academic standards and are able to choose between A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma in the Sixth Form. At the same time, we encourage our students to develop lifelong skills in a diverse range of areas both within and outside the curriculum, and to pursue their individual ambitions, ready to take their place in the adult world.

The School is set in over 20 acres of beautiful green space in Northwood, Middlesex, close to Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and with easy access by Underground from central London. 

If you would like to find out more about our School, we’d be delighted to send you our DVD prospectus or, better still, please do come and visit us at one of our open days or on an individual basis. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
