We are very proud of our warm and vibrant community of ambitious young people, caring and talented staff and supportive alumni and parents.

St Albans High School (we call it STAHS) is a thriving independent day school for girls aged 4 to 18. We are selective at all points of intake, and we are consistently ranked amongst the best independent schools in the UK. Our Prep School is home to 328 girls from Reception to Year 6 and is based in the leafy village of Wheathampstead, just five miles from St Albans. With 18 acres of field and woodland, every child has the opportunity to get muddy in the outdoors, to play, to develop her passion for learning and to have fun.

Our Senior School of 820 girls from Year 7 through Year 13 is in the historic city of St Albans, only 25 minutes by train from Kings Cross/London St Pancras. The campus has a visible and audible buzz, bustling with difference; difference of opinions, difference of ambitions and difference of interests. It is my privilege to lead a team of outstanding colleagues devoted to preparing the young people in our care to live lives of consequence, making a meaningful impact on the world. We work together in a warm and grounded spirit that is uniquely 'STAHS'. Please do see the Welcome on our website to find out why STAHS is such a special place.
