Why Choose Us

"HGAED is a really incredible school to educate your daughter. Its values and ability to support and keep to those values all through school years is very impressive. The Head is very involved, visible and deeply respected by the children and the teachers all pull together to give a safe and warm but also firm and fair environment. I would recommend it to all."

"I made the decision to send my daughter to the secondary school I went to. This establishment nurtures strong, professional, emotionally intelligent women and guides them in their journey by hiring some of the best teachers in the UK."

"Harris Girls is the best school in terms of academic achievement. The school puts in 100% for the students to encourage them to learn. Another important factor is discipline and no lateness which is important for everyday life."

"It was by far the best school for GCSE and A-Level grades, class sizes were smaller than other schools, staff retention/experience appeared to be excellent and there was a heavy emphasis on pastoral care."

"For our first child who went there it was recommended highly to us by a family member who was a teacher at the school. The school is not too far away and has a good reputation and offers a number of extra curricular opportunities. Having seen how well our first child was doing having it as a high choice for our second child was a straightforward decision."

"This school is outstanding in pupil achievements and teacher responsiveness. It nurtures the teacher-pupil relationship and is a space where so many cultures clash in a beautiful symphony, adhering to old rules and new ways of equality and diversity amongst strong independent women."

"I would advise that if your daughter has their own mind and places the curriculum at the forefront of their aspirations and journey then this is the academic establishment you should align your child to."

"I chose HGAED for my child because we were told on the open evening we attended that the school was a sports school with sports facilities and funding and that the school has students that are picked and chosen for London schools athletics and championships. My child is an athlete. So we thought yes, that a bonus along with the school being Ofsted rate 'Outstanding' along with the schools success rate of previous pupils and vision and ethos."

"Harris really inspired my daughter and myself. We were both excited for her to start. The curriculum, the expectations and the mountain of extra-curricular clubs available are amazing. My daughter receives postcards for her excellent work, addressed to her. Her efforts are noticed and she is rewarded personally for that. They have excelled in providing extra care and education to a high standard."

"The headteacher talked about the woman my child would become rather than the grades she could receive. Also, I wasn't bothered either way regarding mixed or single-sex but when the head joked that all the top and A-level maths and science classes were filled with girls, I realised that isn't always the case at mixed school."

"She liked the general feel of the HGAED from the moment we visited on the first open day, such as the grounds, classrooms and teachers and as it was rated 'Outstanding', this of course helped us with the decision making as a family."

"On paper the school was regarded as an outstanding establishment. This was an important factor, as it shows consistency and an high attainment of success. Also being a single sex school, I was of the understanding that the learning style would be specifically tailored to how girls learn, which is supportive to the biological process of the brain; thus supporting my daughter to exceed. I also liked the locality, and location of the school. The bus stops are within walking distance, and the school is quite close to the start of the road. These are important factors for when the dark winter months approach, as safety is paramount."

"It had a calm environment and the students seemed very engaged in their lessons. We also felt the health hut was an excellent additional resource to have and offered some really supportive and nurturing programmes for the students to sign up to."
