Princess Helena College is a co-educational independent boarding and day school for students aged 11 to 18. Set in 100 acres of beautiful countryside, we combine academic excellence with a wide range of co-curricular activities and outstanding individual attention. The environment, ethos and opportunities we offer allow every student to discover talents and interests – be that intellectual, sporting or creative. Our students are encouraged to believe in themselves, to challenge themselves both in school and beyond, and to grow into confident, successful individuals. We are conveniently located in north Hertfordshire, just outside the market town of Hitchin, London is 33 minutes by train and Cambridge is 31 minutes. Our dedicated minibus service provides transport to and from school from North London and towns across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Our routes and individual stops are reviewed annually to ensure we cover as broad an area as possible to meet the needs of our school community
