The school has a rich history dating back to the 1681 will of Thomas Parmiter, who left property to support the education of ten poor children in Bethnal Green where the original school was founded. It now enjoys enviable facilities, including a fully equipped Sports Centre, Drama and Music spaces, as well as a state-of-the-art Science block in a 60-acre setting in Hertfordshire. It is supported financially by the Parmiter’s School Foundation, a charity which owns the majority of the estate.
Applications are invited from both serving and aspiring Headteachers who are encouraged to visit the school. To arrange a visit or for further information please contact Helen Clark, Headmaster’s PA - h.clark@parmiters.herts.sch.uk .
