The Week have recently published their acclaimed guide to the UK’s leading independent senior schools, having consulted a range of heads, teachers and parents to find the best schools of 2021.

Notting Hill & Ealing was awarded Best of the Best for Pupil Ideas! Thank you to the editorial team at The Week’s Independent Schools Guide for recognising the awesome initiatives and ideas our students generate and lead.

Here’s what The Week had to say about us:

Great for pupil ideas: Notting Hill & Ealing High School GDST

“This high-achieving west London girls’ school is teeming with ideas, many of them generated by the pupils themselves. When a year 11 student heard about NHS workers suffering from anxiety and depression during lockdown she launched a whole-school letter-writing initiative, which resulted in girls writing more than 850 letters of gratitude to Ealing Hospital staff. Pupils also created artwork, songs and recordings to spark conversations with care home residents whose families were unable to visit them and a year 9 girl designed a trail of sporty scarecrows to inspire the community to get active. Before the pandemic sixth formers organised a three-day festival to champion women in the film industry.”

In the same guide our Head of English, Miss Silvester, was also featured in “Inspiring Young Readers” with her her recommendations.
