St Albans High School

Founded in the 19th Century, our school has grown and flourished through more than a hundred years of change – academic, social and technological – to evolve into a centre of academic excellence which successfully combines the lessons of the past with the vision of the future.Whether starting out in our beautiful country house setting in the Primary School at Wheathampstead House or in the more independent environment of the Senior School at our town centre site in St Albans, your daughter will have the space to grow and to learn, intellectually and emotionally, within a Christian framework of trust and support. Throughout the school, we provide the facilities and expertise to develop your daughter as an individual through a programme of personalised learning which encourages initiative and independence. We enable each girl to achieve of her best, with a broad choice of subjects, a dedicated programme of activities for the Gifted and Talented and a structured support system for those who may feel a little less confident in some areas. Your daughter is supported throughout her time in school by a strong pastoral team within the framework of the House System led by the Housemistresses and their team of tutors. We want your daughter’s time at school to be a challenging and positive experience with the opportunity to participate in a wide range of interests and extra curricular activities, the stimulus to develop her academic abilities to the full and a sound sense of personal values.
