A future-focussed education

"Sydenham High School is rightly proud of its on-point, 360-degree approach to educating girls, producing impressive results as well as confident, eloquent and ambitious young women. The nearby prep is similarly forward-thinking... the two offer a compelling all-through, all-girls option for south London families."

Talk Education, 2025

“Being in an environment filled with incredible women who know how to speak up for themselves and others, who aren’t constrained by gender stereotypes... and knowing that they can do literally anything that they set their minds to. The spirit of Sydenham has carried me far.”

Dr Bonner, Class of 2009

“Thank you for all your hard work and commitment. it can’t be easy but staff are always friendly, encouraging and enthusiastic. I feel that my girls are known and seen at school.”
