Palmers Green High School

Palmers Green High School is an independent girls’ school located in Hoppers Road, Palmers Green, North London. It consists of four divisions: The Alice Nursery (ages 3–4), Preparatory (Years 1-2), Junior School (Years 3-6) and the Senior School. It does not have a sixth form.

The Good Schools Guide described Palmers Green: “As a relatively small school contained in one building, it would be hard for any child’s problem or unhappiness to go unnoticed – ‘It is quite common for a member of staff to take a girl aside if she seems troubled in any way’. Very good staff-parent relations as all share the ethos of: work hard and your reward will be a good career.”

The school was founded by Alice Hum, who belonged to the Society of Friends, on 8 May 1905 in 1 Osborne Road, Palmers Green with twelve pupils, eight of whom were in the Kindergarten. In 1907, it expanded by taking the adjoining house on Green Lanes. After a third house was taken, the boy pupils were moved to Avondale Hall, which had been used as a school for girls from 1909-1910.

In 1918, by which time it had 300 pupils and the Boys’ School had been phased out, it moved to its current site, Avondale Hall, in Hoppers Road. It has since been extended on that site.

After the outbreak of the Second World War, it continued to provide full-time education and temporarily shared its site with its co-foundation Keble School.
