'Brixton Hill High School' began in February 1887 in a house at 260 Brixton Hill. Continued expansion led in 1894 to a temporary move to a home in Palace Road to await the completion of the new building in Wavertree Road, Streatham Hill (now the location of the Junior School). The building was opened by H.R.H. [[Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll]] in 1895, and the school was soon renamed Streatham Hill High School. In 1938 Streatham Hill merged with (but essentially took over) the older Clapham High School (established in 1875, with [[Mary Jemima Alger]] as its first head), and was renamed 'Streatham Hill and Clapham High School'. |

||
During the [[Second World War]] some girls were evacuated from London, while others continued their schooling in often difficult conditions. A [[V-1 flying bomb|V-1 bomb]] damaged the school on 27 July 1944, and though parts of the building were still usable, the operation of the school had to be split between four separate sites. Two of the sites were 'Winchester House' on Upper Tulse Hill and 'Courtlands' on Christchurch Road. The contract for rebuilding was signed in 1949, and then followed three years of demolition and reconstruction. |
|||
On 22 October 1952, [[Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester]], as Patroness of [[Girls' Day School Trust|the Girls' Public Day School Trust]], opened the new Wavertree Road building. The further expansion of the school led to the GPDST's purchase in 1993 of a new site (for the Senior School) at Abbotswood Road, the former buildings of the [[Battersea Grammar School]], purchased from [[London South Bank University]]. |

== Curriculum == |
|||
⚫ | The [[Independent Schools Inspectorate]] inspected Streatham & Clapham High School in October 2019<ref>[https://www.isi.net/school/streatham-and-clapham-high-school-gdst-7072 Independent Schools Inspectorate Report, 2019.]</ref> and awarded the school the highest grade ("Excellent") in both categories inspected: the quality of pupils’ achievements and the quality of pupils’ personal development. |
||
The school offers a wide range of subjects. Pupils in the first, second and third years of the Senior School (Years 7 to 9) study the core disciplines of English, Mathematics, and Science. Other subjects offered include Art, Computing, Design & Technology, Drama, French, Geography, History, Italian, Latin, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education, and Spanish. All of these subjects are available at GCSE or IGCSE in the fourth and fifth years (Years 10 and 11). The school also offers an enrichment programme, 'Kinza', which enables pupils to sign up for a diverse range of subjects such as beekeeping, forensic science, genealogy, photography, Arabic, etc. |
|||
== Sixth Form == |
|||
The Sixth Form is housed in accommodation which opened in 2017, comprising a study centre, a common room, and a staffed café. The school offers a range of subjects for study at AS and A Level. Sixth-form students also have the opportunity of taking the Extended Project Qualification. |
|||

⚫ | |||
* 'The school is successful in meeting its aim of providing the pupils with high-quality all-round education. From the EYFS [Early Years Foundation Stage] onwards, pupils achieve well, gaining good results in public examinations' (Section 2.1). |
|||
* 'The outstanding personal development of pupils of all ages demonstrates that the school meets its aim of developing girls who are happy, confident and inspired to meet the challenges of life and work' (Section 2.2). |
|||
* 'A notable feature of the pupils' personal development is the excellent integration between pupils from diverse social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds' (Section 2.2). |
|||
* 'The spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of pupils is excellent' (Section 4.1). |
|||
* 'From an early age, pupils have highly developed social skills' (Section 4.4). |
|||
* 'The quality of the arrangements for [pupil] welfare, health and safety is excellent' (Section 4.5). |
|||
* 'One of the school's aims is that girls should be educated in a supportive and compassionate environment and it is very successful in achieving this aim' (Section 4.5). |
|||
* 'The quality of links with parents, carers and guardians is excellent' (Section 5.8). |
|||
* 'The school provides an outstanding start to the children's education' in the EYFS (Section 6.1). |
|||
* The inspectors recommended that the school should establish a system to disseminate the good practice of heads of department in the senior school more widely, ensure that all teaching provides opportunities to challenge the most able, and consider the length of lessons (Section 2.5). |
|||
The 2016 regulatory compliance inspection found that the school complied with all regulatory requirements. |

== Pupil count planning breach and application to expand == |
|||
Since the start of the 2018/19 academic year, the school has been in breach by over 50 pupils of its planning limit of 505: the ultimate resolution of this situation is yet to be decided <ref>[https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/threat-to-streatham-and-clapham-high-school-students-if-school-expansion-plan-is-thrown-out/ "Threat to Streatham and Clapham High School students if school expansion plan is thrown out"], [[South London Press]], 11 September 2019, James Twomey</ref>. In July 2019 the school made a planning application to [[Lambeth_London_Borough_Council | Lambeth Council]] to expand to 650 pupils <ref>[https://planning.lambeth.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=PU0SLPBOHWL00 19/02374/VOC: Variation of condition 33 (Pupil Places) of planning permission 14/01361/FUL: Summary]</ref>. This application has run into local opposition, with a large number of objections <ref>[https://planning.lambeth.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=neighbourComments&keyVal=PU0SLPBOHWL00 19/02374/VOC: Variation of condition 33 (Pupil Places) of planning permission 14/01361/FUL: Neighbour Comments]</ref>. |
|||
A final determination of the outcome may be some way off: the Council Planning Application Committee will not consider the application before 15 October 2019 at the earliest <ref>[https://moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx?CommitteeId=600 Lambeth Council Planning Application Committee meetings: calendar, agendas and minutes]</ref>, and if this results in refusal then any subsequent appeal will move resolution back by several months <ref>[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/appeals-average-timescales-for-arranging-inquiries-and-hearings#planning-including-listed-building-appeals UK Government: Timescales for arranging inquiries and hearings: Planning]</ref>. |

Streatham & Clapham High School is a private day school for girls aged 3 to 18, in south London. The school was founded in 1887 by the Girls' Public Day School Company, which established schools for girls providing academic, moral and religious education.
The Head is Cathy Ellott.[1]
The ability profile of the school is above the national average, with a proportion of pupils being far above the national average.[3] The 2019 Independent Schools Inspectorate report awarded the school the highest grade in both categories inspected ('Excellent'): the quality of pupils' academic and other achievements and the quality of their personal development.[4]
The school is located on two sites, the Prep School in a Victorian building in Wavertree Road, London SW2, and the Senior School (including the Sixth Form) in buildings designed in the 1930s by J. E. K. Harrison.
History
[edit]'Brixton Hill High School' began in February 1887 in a house at 260 Brixton Hill. Continued expansion led in 1894 to a temporary move to a home in Palace Road to await the completion of the new building in Wavertree Road, Streatham Hill (now the location of the Junior School). The building was opened by H.R.H. Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll in 1895, and the school was soon renamed Streatham Hill High School. In 1938 Streatham Hill merged with (but essentially took over) the older Clapham High School (established in 1875, with Mary Jemima Alger as its first head[5]), and was renamed 'Streatham Hill and Clapham High School'.
During the Second World War some girls were evacuated from London, while others continued their schooling in often difficult conditions. A V-1 bomb damaged the school on 27 July 1944, and though parts of the building were still usable, the operation of the school had to be split between four separate sites. Two of the sites were 'Winchester House' on Upper Tulse Hill and 'Courtlands' on Christchurch Road. The contract for rebuilding was signed in 1949, and then followed three years of demolition and reconstruction.
On 22 October 1952, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, as Patroness of the Girls' Public Day School Trust, opened the new Wavertree Road building. The further expansion of the school led to the GPDST's purchase in 1993 of a new site (for the Senior School) at Abbotswood Road, the former buildings of the Battersea Grammar School, purchased from London South Bank University.
Since then the Abbotswood Road site has been expanded with the Millennium Building, comprising an Art Suite, Music Suite and a Recital Hall, and a Sports Hall. In January 2017, a new Sixth Form Centre opened on the newly built fourth storey on the Harrison building, followed in April 2018 by a new dining hall, reception and fountain atrium. These additions to the school, designed by Cottrell and Vermeulen Architecture, won the Royal Institute of British Architects' London Award and the Retrofit Award in the School Project category, and were also shortlisted for the Education Architect of the Year Award.[6]
