Pupils’ attitudes to learning are outstanding.

ISI Report 2019

I couldn’t be happier with our decision to send our girls to St Hilda’s for Nursery, to give them the best start on their learning journey.

Current Parent

We appreciate the accessibility of all the teachers in person or by email and having the Headmaster physically there at the school gate at drop off and pick up. We have truly found that our concerns and requests have always been dealt with in a fair, responsive and positive manner.

Current parent

If the pursuit of happiness is a life ideal, one only has to witness the arrival of the children each morning to see that you have achieved that so brilliantly.  You have opened the door to the world of education and have shown your pupils what an amazing and exciting place that can be.
