 About Us - Introduction from The Headteacher
 Parliament Hill School provides a distinctive and exciting learning environment in which all girls receive the support and encouragement they need to become successful, confident and mature young women. Located on a beautiful site onthe edge of Hampstead Heath and easily accessible to all parts of central andNorth London, the school provides a peaceful and secure environment for rich and diverse learning experiences.

Our students benefit from highly qualified staff who are committed to ensuring all our students progress and achieve. Challenging lessons are taught across a wide range of academic and vocational courses and there is a strong system of support which helps students to manage their learning and develop positive relationships.

As a specialist Technology College, the school is continually developing its expertise in Technology, Maths, Science and Information and Communications Technology. Our excellent ICT facilities have been fully integrated into the whole curriculum.

We are part of the most successful sixth form in London, La Swap, which enables our students to access the widest range of opportunities, expertise and resources.

We are recognised by the Department for Children, Schools and Families as a very successful, high performing school and as a result we have been awarded both “Leading Edge” and “Training School” status. These programmes enable us to operate as a centre of excellence, sharing our expertise with other schools and organisations, particularly in supporting the further professional development of staff. This co-operative work enables us to remain at the forefront of new educational ideas and to build on our already excellent relations with other educational institutions.

It is very important to us that our students are secure and happy and that their school life is a memorable experience which will form the basis of a rich and rewarding later life. We promote full participation in extra-curricular activities and enjoyment in all aspects of school life. We encourage our students to be caring, thoughtful and responsible - and proud of their school.

I very much hope that you will visit us and discover for yourself the unique qualities of Parliament Hill School.
