Rising Girls, Growing Women

This programme reflects the very heart of our feminist mission.

At Parliament Hill School, we are nurturing girls to grow as:

  • Independent young women
  • Confident thinkers
  • Bold innovators
  • Determined leaders
  • Proud feminists
  • Inspirational role models

We empower our students not to be afraid of inventing new ideas, speaking out, taking risks and shaping the future. We understand both the opportunities and challenges of being a young woman in a rapidly changing world, and we ensure every girl is equipped with the confidence, leadership attributes and resilience to flourish.

 

A High Achieving and Happy School

Our motto — High Achieving and Happy — runs as a golden thread through everything we do. Achievement and happiness are inextricably linked and the Women of the World Programme embodies that belief.

As a centre of excellence and innovation in girls’ education and as part of the LaSWAP Sixth Form Consortium, we are proud of our tradition of academic success, inclusive values and global citizenship.

The Women of the World Programme is more than a series of events — it is a powerful statement of who we are. It celebrates our commitment to empowering every student to forge a strong identity, make her mark on the world and contribute positively to society.

We look forward to two weeks of inspiration, aspiration and celebration as our students engage with extraordinary women who are changing the world — and as we continue to nurture the next generation of women who will do the same.
