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.

About Us

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.

Year 5 & 6 transported us to the magical land of Oz on Friday night with their incredible performance of The Wizard of Oz! 

The talent, energy, and teamwork on stage were truly something special. From the costumes to the singing, every moment was simply enchanting. 

Huge congratulations to all the pupils, teachers, and everyone behind the scenes who brought this amazing show to life. We’re so proud of you all!

Congratulations to Fatima S and Mya Z in Year 10 for having their poetry selected for publication in the @youngwriterscw ‘Empowered - Journey Through Ink’ anthology. This is an amazing achievement.

They both wrote heartfelt and beautiful poems about their personal experiences entitled ‘My life as a hijabi’ and ‘My life as a black girl’, respectively. We’re delighted that their work, alongside a collection of poems, will be published in August and we look forward to seeing their work in print!

We’re so proud of Delara and Lluisa in Year 9, who’ve been helping to lead change through the Make Space for Girls Broomfield Park project!

This week, we were excited to welcome Sarah Cotton, owner of @thepalmersgreenery, to our school assembly. Alongside Delara and Lluisa, Sarah shared the story behind this inspiring project with our pupils and staff.

Make Space for Girls Broomfield Park is a collaboration between collaboration led by @friends_of_broomfield_park and The Palmers Greenery Community Cafe and supported by national charity @make_space_for_girls, and @enfieldcounciluk. 

The project is focused on rethinking how parks are designed - to feel safe, welcoming and inclusive for girls and non-binary teens who don’t feel represented by the usual skateparks, pitches or fenced-off spaces.

Through a series of creative workshops they have been exploring ideas about what’s needed to make Broomfield Park more appealing and welcoming. The next phase will include developing the design brief to final design, and the tender and installation of the new space.

We can’t wait to hear what happens next! To find out more visit: www.fobp.uk/make-space-for-girls
