Good Schools Guide Reviews of NHEHS Junior and Senior Schools

We are delighted to share two fantastic reviews this year from The Good Schools Guide – one of the UK’s leading school guides, helping parents in every aspect of choosing the best education for their children. The Good Schools Guide reviews 1,300 schools, covering state and independent, boarding and day, mainstream and special sectors.

Good Schools Guide Junior School Review

“An academically excellent school that nurtures its pupils and helps them to develop into happy, confident girls.”

“Forward-thinking, buzzy environment with an ‘informal, happy vibe’ and a ‘multitude of opportunities’ for bright girls who are keen to learn.”

“‘Consistently exceptional teachers’ who are ‘passionate about their subjects’ and ‘have a real sense of fun and curiosity’ that pupils adore.”

“Some of the most innovative approaches to tech and environmental issues we’ve seen in any school, let alone a prep.”

Good Schools Guide Senior School Review

“Academic achievements are excellent, and these energetic, exuberant girls are definitely a force to be reckoned with.”

“NHEHS has its eyes firmly on the future, developing ‘real world skills’ alongside excellent academics.”

“Its approach allows girls to become confident, questioning members of society who will find their path in whatever takes their fancy, be it astrophysics or costume design.”

“‘Extraordinarily brilliant’ pastoral team… parents can’t speak highly enough of how staff at all levels work with parents to help girls thrive. And thrive they most certainly do!”

“It is a genuinely academic school which delivers excellent results but with an understated air… NHEHS consistently delivers a rounded education and demonstrates admirably that kindness counts.”
