Parent of a Junior School Pupil
We find the NHSG school bus service to be a huge support, especially as it is so flexible. Our daughter loves getting the school bus and enjoys being on the bus with girls of all ages - there's a real 'bus' community and the chaperones always make sure the girls are well looked after. You can also track the buses to see if there are any traffic issues so you know if there are any delays, and the bus chaperones always keep us up to date.
An all girl education at NHSG will help your daughter be the girl she wants to be
Every girl is her own person, with her own dreams and aspirations and, at NHSG, our aim is to empower girls to be leaders, trailblazers and world shapers. This starts from the moment a girl joins our school, and, whether she is aged 3 or 18, we will help her to find her own voice and to have the self-assurance and skills to achieve her dreams.
At NHSG, an all-girl education is more than just outstanding academic and pastoral care. It’s about equipping every girl to learn without limits so that she can be whoever she wants to be.
Parent of Senior School pupil
I have been really impressed by the level of care and support offered to my daughter since she started at NHSG. The diverse and challenging lessons and excellent extra-curricular opportunities have made her first terms at NHSG engaging and rewarding. The staff have been approachable and efficient and the whole experience has been wonderful for my daughter.
Come and see what makes NHSG so special.
Just like when buying a house, the best way to get a real feel for our environment is to come to see it for yourself. That way, you'll quickly sense the warmth of our community and the excitement for learning among our pupils.
Our Open events take place each term, with our main events in the Autumn Term. We always recommend that you attend an Open event if you can. Our forthcoming Open Days are shown below. In addition, we do offer the opportunity to join us for a private visit if our Open Days prove not to be convenient.
Either way, the first step to arrange a visit is to make an online enquiry by clicking on the 'Admissions journey' button below. We look forward to meeting you and your daughter very soon.
