—The Good Schools Guide Review 2025

Welcome to Notting Hill & Ealing High Senior School

As an all-through girls school for pupils from primary school at age 4 through to Secondary and Sixth Formers aged 18, we aim to inspire, empower and challenge each girl to be herself. Our students are grounded, confident and independent, keen to make a positive difference in the world. They are proud of their school and value kindness and laughter, fun and friendship. Here they enjoy being part of a warm, supportive and vibrant community, where they can express their passion for learning, and for life.

Our Open Days offer a unique opportunity on a “normal working” day at school to really find out what life is really like as a pupil. Parents will see the school in action on a tour by our secondary school students and hear from our Head, Mrs Allison Saunders, and Head Girl team.
