About

We are thrilled to have been named Independent Girls' School of the Year at the national Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2025. This award reflects the dedication and achievements of everyone in our community, always centred on the needs, ambitions and voices of girls and young women.

Read the story: At St Helen's learning is undeniably 'cool', with students eager to engage with inspiring teachers that enjoy sharing their knowledge and experiences – going above and beyond is a natural state of play at the School.

For us, nothing is more rewarding than seeing our students harnessing their curiosity, energy and talent to shape their future on their own terms, being liberated from thoughts of what is typical or atypical for a girl. This is a reflection of what makes St Helen's the incredibly special school that it is: we will help each one of our students to get to where she wants to go.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
