Notting Hill and Ealing High School (NHEHS) is an independent school for girls, located in Ealing, London. Founded in 1873, NHEHS is part of the Girls’ Day School Trust and is recognised nationally for its academic excellence.

In 2022, 92% of their A Level entries were awarded A*-B grades and 81% of their leavers secured their first-choice university. In the same year, 92% of GCSE entries were awarded grades 9-7. 

With a long history of educational excellence, academic life at NHEHS is supportive, fulfilling and fun. With an array of excellent facilities and a team of dedicated teaching staff, students are encouraged both inside and outside the classroom. From Year 7, the three sciences are taught separately and students are able to choose two modern languages to study. At GCSE and A-Level, students are given the opportunity to study Greek, psychology, economics and more.

With over 130 co-curricular activities on offer, there are plenty of opportunities outside of the classroom for your child to find their passion and become a balanced all-rounder. Students can join a sports team, perform on stage in a drama production, immerse themselves in a musical pursuit or challenge themselves with something completely new.
