Welcome to the
Junior
School
“Across NHEHS, we offer exceptional educational opportunities for girls of all ages, from Reception through to Sixth Form. All girls, whatever their age, benefit from our ‘no either-or’ ethos, where academic ambition happily coexists with a supportive and empowering atmosphere.”
Stimulating young minds
As they join our Junior School, we help young girls to fall in love with learning. We build on their natural curiosity and interests, through a carefully balanced programme of structured learning alongside creative exploration. Skilful guidance and exposure to a broad range of thought-provoking experiences enable our girls to thrive and excel.
Our integrated curriculum encourages young minds to look at a given topic from multiple viewpoints. As teachers, we know this leads to deeper understanding and prepares children for their future, but for the girls it simply means being immersed in a topic and the joy of becoming experts. This approach is complemented by specialist teaching in Science, Music, Sport and Languages, often in bespoke spaces within the Junior and Senior Schools.
Creating a warm, friendly culture
We pride ourselves on building the foundations that are central to an enjoyable and successful life in school, and beyond. When children are happy, confident and excited by challenges, they can make the most of the opportunities available to them and achieve their potential. It is why we put so much effort into creating a warm, supportive and friendly culture. Our girls literally skip into school, happy to be here and keen to see what the day will bring.
We help them to articulate their own ideas in an encouraging setting, where kindness to others is expected and highly valued. This creates a culture where girls feel safe to express themselves and explore ideas together. It builds an even deeper love of learning, and better understanding of people, as well as subjects.
“Pupils develop high levels of self-knowledge, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, and resilience.”
Adding breadth and depth
Beyond a wide-ranging timetable, we offer a vast array of in-school and after-school clubs. These add to the breadth of experiences that girls can sample during their time with us.
By the time girls move up to the Senior School, their love of learning has become part of who they are. And part of who they will be next.
I look forward to welcoming you at one of our Open Days.

Head of Junior School
Our New Junior School
In November we unveiled a new building for our Junior School students. This inspiring design provides a state-of-the-art learning environment for our Junior girls as they begin their education with us, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and significantly enhanced landscaping to enable external play and exploration.
Junior School, Year 6
“NHEHS is a big home, full of friends and my second family. It means a place where we can have fun, learn and laugh.”
“One of the most important things I have learned is how to make friends and speak out loud as that used to be a small fear of mine.”

Year 6 became entrepreneurs on Thursday and presented their business pitches to a panel of judges, including local businesswoman Aarabhi Sivaraman, Founder of Aarabhi London, a sustainable fashion brand.
After 8 weeks of work with @lifelab.business including website design, adverts and budgeting, we are so proud of their finished products.
All proceeds from the fair will be donated to @levelwateruk – a charity which raises money to provide swimming lessons to children with disabilities.

Year 2 brought the energy this week for their African Expo! 🌍🥁
From incredible drumming and dance workshops in the morning to welcoming our wonderful families for an afternoon showcase, it’s been an unforgettable celebration of all their hard work this half term.

Our Junior Pop Choir made a delightful return trip to St Barnabas’ Church this week with Dr Sole, continuing what is becoming a truly special weekly tradition.
The girls walked down to perform for the visitors at the church`s `Memory Lane café` – a wonderful gathering where local residents come together to socialise over a cup of tea.
Once again, our choir treated the guests to a beautiful set list, bridging generations with everything from traditional Scottish melodies to moving modern classics.
There is so much power in shared music. Research shows that hearing familiar songs can help unlock stored memories, and we certainly saw that magic in action.
