About Notting Hill and Ealing High School

Notting Hill and Ealing High School is an independent day school for girls, founded in 1873 and part of the Girls' Day School Trust (GDST). Governance rests with the GDST council, supported by a local governing board that provides expertise and guidance. The school is organised into a junior school, which includes the Early Years Foundation Stage, and a senior school with a sixth form. Both schools are on the same site in separate buildings, sharing some facilities, with a dedicated sixth-form centre situated near the junior school.

The school welcomes pupils from a range of social, economic and cultural backgrounds, reflecting the local community. It has identified a number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, the majority of whom receive specialist support, and also supports pupils for whom English is an additional language.

The school aims to offer a rounded academic and extra-curricular education that both stimulates and challenges, helping every pupil to achieve their best. It strives to create a supportive and outward-looking environment where pupils feel valued and are encouraged to show respect for everyone in the community.
