Northwood College
Northwood College
Nearest underground station: Northwood
is an Independent Day School for Girls. It is an Educational Trust and the Head Mistress is a member of the Girls' Schools Association. There are approximately 770 girls in the College.
Founded in 1878, Northwood College has been providing a high quality of education for girls for 125 years. The modern education demanded, and deserved by girls today, is of course very different from that of their Victorian predecessors, but the underlying values of integrity, responsibility and service have always been the basis of our ethos.
At Northwood College, girls develop independence of thought and initiative as their curiosity and desire to learn are stimulated by excellent teaching. Our academic results reflect this.
The broad educational experience provided by the College enables each girl to develop her talents, be they academic, sporting or creative.
A supportive system of pastoral care, involving staff and parents, is central to our ethos and ensures each girl is valued as an individual within our community.
At 18, girls leave Northwood College with an awareness of their self-worth, a sense of responsibility towards others and the skills which equip them to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. They are confident, articulate and generous young women of whom we are proud and with whom it is a privilege to work
During the 1990s, the school grew considerably and our existing facilities were modernised and new ones added.
