Inspires achievement beyond the bound of expectation;
Celebrates a caring culture of warm relationships and diversity.
Streatham & Clapham High School offers an inspiring, enlightened and intellectually challenging education for its pupils in a lively, dynamic and warmly supportive environment. Our family ethos enables us to know, value and nurture each pupil as an individual. We celebrate diversity and draw strength from the School’s rich social and cultural mix. Last year our pupils achieved their best-ever examination results, placing the School in the top 25% of independent schools nationally.
The pursuit of excellence is thus our defining feature. We believe that all members of the school community should be inspired to outperform expectations on a daily basis. Our pupils are nurtured to attain success across the widest spectrum of activity, extending far beyond the conventional ‘academic’ horizon. In so doing, they learn the beauty of reason, the allure of the aesthetic, and the vitality of the physical. Whether they are very able or late developers, whether they love sport, music or drama or are budding scientists and engineers, our pupils learn to navigate the landscape of the human spirit and achieve beyond the realms of expectation.
The School’s exceptional pastoral care enables pupils to make outstanding progress, both academically and in their personal development. As such, they mature into confident, accomplished and well-adjusted young women, prepared for the challenges of university education and their future careers. Above all, SCHS pupils become attached to ideals which will undoubtedly colour their actions and decisions throughout their adult lives.
