Welcome to St. Helen's School

St. Helen’s is an independent girls’ day school of more than 1,100 students aged from 3 to 18.

We aim to ensure that every girl:

  • enjoys learning
  • has intellectual curiosity and thinks independently
  • is confident and has integrity, celebrates diversity and respects others
  • uses her talents and enthusiasm for the benefit of the community
  • has skills which will enable her to play a role on the national and international stage
  • is prepared for the world she will help to shape and lead

Girls achieve high academic standards and are able to choose between A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma in the Sixth Form. 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.

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 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
