independent girls’ schools in the UK, NHEHS combines academic rigour with unrivalled pastoral support. Staying true to its founding aim of providing girls with the same opportunities as their male counterparts, NHEHS is traditional in terms of ambitiously high academic standards and modern in the way it prepares girls for leader- ship and success beyond school.
