Overview

About Palmers Green High School

Palmers Green High School is an independent girls' school in Palmers Green, North London, with Prep, Junior, and Senior sections through to GCSE. Founded by Miss Alice Hum.

Our take

Independent girls all-through school in Enfield for ages 4–16. Selective entry.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 4–16) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
  • Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.

Wellbeing

Each pupil’s happiness is important to members of staff and to other pupils. Being part of the Palmers Green High School community involves learning to respect others and to live alongside people holding different opinions. Class Teachers in the Lower School and Form Tutors in the Senior School, who work closely with the Deputy Head, are the first point of pastoral contact and are readily available to talk to both pupils and parents. Alongside a supportive PSHEE programme of study, Form Time across the whole School provides excellent opportunities for group discussion, where p
