There is a very strong sense of harmony at St. Helen’s, embracing children, staff and parents. This strong ‘family’ ethos is nurtured by a culture in which the children are respected, valued and loved. Staff and pupils enjoy relaxed and friendly but respectful relationships, and our low staff turnover means that teachers and children get to know each other well during their years together. Among the children, lasting friendships are formed, and generations of ex-pupils continue to keep in touch, with each other and with the school. Standards of courtesy and behaviour are very high, and are maintained by modelling and praising rather than by admonishing. Children learn best by example!

St. Helen’s College is a co-educational independent prep school in Hillingdon. We nurture a culture where children are respected, valued and loved.
