Palmers Green High School (PGHS), founded in 1905 by Miss Alice Hum, has provided girls with an exceptional education for over 115 years. At PGHS we specialise in educating girls, challenging and guiding them to achieve their full potential within our warm and friendly school environment. We are a very special ‘through-school’ where pupils progress in a familiar setting and benefit from seamless transitions across the Prep, Junior and Senior Schools. There is an authentic feeling of being one family where strong friendships are formed and extend beyond year groups.
At PGHS, all sections of the school (Preps, Juniors and Seniors) enjoy being part of our ‘one school’ community. Preps use the same facilities as the GCSE pupils in some subjects, e.g. Art, Music, PE and D&T, and Juniors enjoy Science in the laboratories. Throughout PGHS, small class sizes and excellent teaching enable rapid progress, whilst exciting extra-curricular activities encourage girls to develop into well-rounded individuals.
Recognising the importance of developing well-rounded individuals, we offer an exciting programme of extra-curricular activities. PGHS takes every opportunity to nurture your daughter’s passions and develop her skills, providing over 80 clubs per week.
Today it was a pleasure to welcome the children’s author, Terrie Chilvers (@cowfishdreams) to PGHS. She ran inspiring workshops with our Year 3&4 classes and read her debut book ‘Michael The Amazing Mind-Reading Sausage Dog’ to them.
At PGHS, we have celebrated Black History Month by promoting and celebrating the contributions of those with African and Caribbean heritage. The theme this year is ‘Reclaiming Narratives’ with a great focus on untold stories of those who are significant in Black British History. The focus words we looked at were: inspiration, resistance and change.
Our Black History Month assembly was held this week, in which we shone a spotlight on contributions from individuals across our school of African and Caribbean heritage specifically in art, music and literature. It was a wonderful assembly and we thank everyone who was involved in making it so special.
We will continue to celebrate the histories and stories of many remarkable people in Black British History throughout the year.
