FOUNDED IN 1878
On Tuesday 1 October 1878, a small group of girls gathered outside 6 Upper Baker Street to start their school days at what was known then as The Church of England High School for Girls, founded by the Reverend Canon Francis Holland.
SINCE 1878.
The School remained at the Baker Street site until 1915 when it was transferred to its purpose built site near Clarence Gate, where it remains today.
We remain true to our founding principles as pioneers of girls’ education, underpinned by our Christian ethos, with an unwavering commitment to education, centred on excellence, character, creativity, sustainability and community.
In October 2028, with the capacity to welcome just under 600 girls, our school will celebrate 150 years of educating girls, of guiding both hearts and minds; an enormous milestone in the history of our School. Today and tomorrow, we continue to cherish our heritage and history, blending tradition with innovation in the pursuit of excellence.
