About Palmers Green High School
With an excellent reputation and a tradition of nurturing capable, independent women, PGHS has held a special place in North London since 1905. Reflecting the diversity of the area, we are committed to offering an outstanding educational experience both in and out of the classroom, ensuring girls develop confidence, resilience, and determination.
Our class sizes and exceptional pastoral care offer a level of personal attention that is unrivalled, and which allows every pupil to be their individual, authentic self. This, alongside excellent examination results at GCSE and extensive opportunities beyond the curriculum, means that pupils are well-prepared for the next phase in their academic careers and go on to the sixth forms and universities of their choice.
Equipping Girls for Success
We believe passionately in girls’ education. Focused teaching groups ensure outstanding pupil engagement, collaboration and communication in lessons and allow our inspirational teachers to provide individualised support and challenge. This contributes to our excellent results and pupils’ readiness to lead successful lives, excelling in their chosen field.
Building Skills for the Future
Developing skills such as risk-taking and problem-solving, PGHS girls are fully equipped for the 21st century through the excellent resources and high-quality teaching in Science, Design & Technology, Computing and Maths. Curiosity sparked, many pupils continue STEM subjects at A-Level and beyond.
Nurturing Creativity
Creativity is at our heart and across the curriculum we aim to develop pupils’ expression, imagination and experimentation skills. Music, Drama and Art and Design are taught by subject specialists across the age range. Creative activities and performance opportunities are a vital part of school life.
Vitality Through Sport
From rugby to rounders, swimming to street dance, tennis to trampolining, sport at PGHS has something for everyone. With access to extensive offsite facilities, girls are encouraged to find an activity – whether recreational or competitive – that they are passionate about, creating happy, healthy individuals.
Exciting Opportunities
Learning is more than a classroom. Opportunities to take on leadership responsibilities, to participate in internal and external competitions and our vibrant extra-curricular programme develop confidence and resilience. We offer a rich calendar of day and residential visits, field trips and expeditions in the UK and abroad.
A Small School with a Big Heart
We live by our School motto, ‘By Love Serve One Another’. We champion one another, celebrating each other’s successes and supporting one another through life’s ups and downs.
