About LHS
Welcome from the Headteacher
At Leicester High for Girls, everyone is someone.
We are a small, independent school for girls aged 3–18, with a proud history of helping young women flourish.
Our size is one of our greatest strengths. It allows us to know each girl as an individual and to support her, personally and academically, every step of the way.
This is a school where girls are encouraged to be themselves – and to become their very best. Free from many of the social pressures found elsewhere, our pupils take the lead, speak up, and grow in confidence. Whether in science, sport or the arts, girls here are inspired to aim high and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Our results speak for themselves – but success at Leicester High for Girls goes far beyond the classroom. From Nursery through to Sixth Form, we offer a rich programme of opportunities that build character, broaden horizons and help girls discover their strengths. Our ethos is simple: every girl – and every member of staff – has the potential to be brilliant. At Leicester High, they will be.
I see this not only as Headteacher, but as a parent too. My own daughter is a pupil here, and I see daily how she and her peers are growing – in ambition, confidence and joy.
We are proud to be a community where every voice is heard, and every girl matters. I warmly invite you to come and visit us – and see for yourself what makes Leicester High for Girls so special.
