What is the best girls school in London?
Are you looking to find the best private school for girls in London? Girls-only schools offer an education designed specifically to empower girls. The benefits include challenging gender stereotypes in sport and subject choices, as well as providing and encouraging leadership opportunities. If you feel that a girls-only education would be the right choice for your daughter, there are a wide range of options across London.
Lady Eleanor Holles School (LEH) was founded in 1710, making it one of the oldest girls' schools in the UK. With its own Junior School, it offers an all-through education for girls from 7 to 18 years.
Which is better for girls – coeducation or girls-only? It's a very difficult question and the answer depends very much on your unique child and whether you feel she will thrive in a coed or girls-only school. Crucially, when assessing schools, it is sensible not to rule-in or rule-out a school simply because it is coed or girls-only. You should instead visit all potential schools which meet your criteria – you may be surprised to discover that your initial views change after visiting.
