Open Morning
Every Story Matters
Behind our red door lies curiosity, courage and kindness — and over 130 years of girls discovering how their stories unfold.
From her exciting beginning in Nursery to the chapters that follow in Prep, every St Hilda’s story is nurtured, celebrated and shaped with care.
Our School Open Morning — suitable for the whole family, from Early Years through to Prep — will take place on Saturday 7th March 2026.
