ACADEMIC

STAHS is one of the highest performing independent day schools in the UK. We are selective at all points of entry and our admissions process is carefully structured so we really get to know each candidate – and so you get to know STAHS.

There is no ‘typical’ STAHS pupil: we select based on a combination of intellect, talent, skill, curiosity, personality and potential. We form year groups full of girls with a wonderful diversity of interests and abilities, who can inspire each other academically, creatively and culturally.

Our pupils join us from a wide variety of different schools and starting points. We support each pupil in discovering their academic passions and help set them on their own course. We maintain the highest academic standards and expectations and our nurturing approach to education means that all pupils can achieve outstanding outcomes. STAHS teachers are world class; they inspire confidence and support their pupils every step of the way.

Academic life at STAHS is a rich combination of core courses, elective options, extension opportunities, hands-on and experiential learning, and practical work carried out in specialist facilities. Unique to STAHS, our SuperCurriculum takes academics beyond the limits of examinations. Pupils are exposed to the unexpected and are required to flex their critical thinking to develop their own opinions, and to express these through careful research, debate, and presentation.

Our friendly, open and engaging community is at the heart of everything we do. Pupils learn, question, debate and wonder together. When clever, talented young people are inspired by those around them, are encouraged to push beyond their perceived limits, are celebrated for their efforts and successes and are supported by their friends, teachers and families, they are unstoppable. At STAHS, we give our pupils all of this and more – and the proof of our success is in the thousands of successful alumni leading fulfilling lives, giving back to their communities and making the most positive of impacts on the world.
