Education is not only about gaining knowledge and skills. Of equal, or perhaps greater, importance is the development of an inner core or foundation of virtue. At St. Helen’s we aim to nurture goodness, courtesy, compassion and consideration for others. We strive to instill courage, loyalty, integrity and truthfulness, and we encourage children always to think, speak and act considerately and responsibly.

Thus an essential aspect of the St. Helen’s education involves the patient and loving nurturing of the ‘inner child’. Through our daily act of worship, our religious education programme, the discussions which we hold in class, assembly and Circle Time, the example and benevolence of a remarkably dedicated staff, and the partnership of the parents, we aim for the children to develop strength of mind and character, and generosity of spirit. These values, and those which spring from them, will provide a firm foundation for the life ahead.

St Helen’s College is a co-educational independent prep school in Hillingdon. We value goodness, courtesy, compassion and consideration for others.
