Welcome to Palmers Green High School Winchmore Hill
The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide’s Independent 11-16 Secondary School of the Year, Palmers Green High School (PGHS) was founded in 1905 by Miss Alice Hum and has provided girls with an exceptional education for 120 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.
A School Experience Like No Other
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.
Extra Curricular
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.
If you didn’t get your local state primary school of choice for your daughter on National Offer Day, then look no further than PGHS. We are an excellent local independent school educating girls aged 4-16 years old. We offer small class sizes and access to a broad curriculum which is taught by subject specialist teachers.

In the last week of term in Design & Technology, members of Year 5 finished soldering their electronic moisture testing circuits. The only thing remaining before manufacturing the bespoke cases was to test them!
Well done everybody for such accurate soldering.

In the last week of term, Year 2 enjoyed a wonderful school trip to St Paul’s Cathedral. They enjoyed a tour about the Great Fire of London and re-enacting some key moments. They climbed 376 steps to enjoy some beautiful views out over London. A wonderful time was had by all.

On Thursday 27th March a team of ten pupils from our Senior School chess club attended the annual Inter-School Chess Tournament at Lea Valley Academy with three other Enfield schools. This was a great opportunity for our pupils to play chess with pupils from other schools and of very different abilities in a competitive environment. They all enjoyed the challenge, played really well and are now keen to play in more chess tournaments!

At the end of term, we sadly said goodbye to two long-standing members of staff – Ms Jo Newman, MFL Teacher, and Ms Marie Sinfield, Teaching Assistant. Between them they have contributed thirty-five years of service to the school. Ms Newman has taught French, Spanish and History at PGHS for 26 years and she has been an exceptionally dedicated form tutor, supporting hundreds of girls with their academic and personal development. Ms Marie Sinfield is one of PGHS’ beloved Teaching Assistants most recently working with Year 2. As well as her in-class support, Ms Sinfield’s creativity has ensured that all Prep productions have wonderful scenery,
costumes and props. Both Ms Newman and Ms Sinfield will be much missed at PGHS but we wish them every happiness and success as they embark on their next chapters. We look forward to seeing them at PGHS events in the future.
