An award-winning school for girls in South London

Sydenham High School aims to inspire the future generations of creators, independent thinkers and trailblazers. We open eyes and hearts by educating the whole person: to balance mind, body and soul. Our diversity of academic and enrichment opportunities enables every girl to forge her own path, strive to be her best and excel. While no path is the same, each girl’s journey leads to valuable development and meaningful self-discovery. A proud member of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST) family of schools, we develop character beyond the curriculum.

We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded Private Girls’ School of the Year (UK) in recognition of our pioneering Futures Programme!

Our focus on preparing girls for their futures goes beyond the traditional careers advice or life skills development, understanding that the world is evolving at a rapid rate, and our girls are likely to be entering careers that do not yet exist. As research shows that young women often feel underprepared for life beyond school, we have tackled this head on, offering a personalised, future-focused curriculum that equips every girl with the confidence, curiosity and clarity to own her future.

Pupils are proud of their work and approach tasks with focus and determination, encouraged by the professional, respectful and warm relationships between pupils and teachers.
