Why a Girls' Independent School Could Be the Best Decision You Ever Make for Your Daughter

When it comes to choosing a school, you want more than just good grades—you want an environment where your daughter will thrive, feel valued, and have every opportunity to succeed.

At Leicester High School for Girls, we offer a girls-only independent education from ages 3 to 18, giving your daughter the space, support, and encouragement to become confident, ambitious, and unstoppable.

💡 But here’s the real question… Have you thought about what she might be missing in a mixed classroom?

The Independent School Advantage

🚀 Small Classes. Big Opportunities.

Why settle for your daughter being just another number? At Leicester High, small class sizes mean personalised support, strong relationships with teachers, and the freedom to ask questions without fear.

💡 Confidence That Lasts a Lifetime

It’s not just about academics—it’s about preparing your daughter for life. Our supportive community nurtures self-belief, leadership skills, and independence, ensuring she’s ready to take on the world.

🌎 She’ll Be Seen. Heard. Inspired.

At Leicester High, every girl is known, supported, and encouraged. Whether she’s a budding scientist, an aspiring artist, or a future entrepreneur, we help her find her passion and run with it.

🎭 More Than Just Academics

From STEM to sport, debating to drama, music to leadership roles, your daughter will have endless opportunities to explore what she loves, build her skills, and develop a well-rounded future.

🎓 Outstanding Teachers, Outstanding Results

Passionate teachers. High expectations. A culture of success. Our exam results speak for themselves—but more importantly, so do our students, who leave as empowered young women ready to take on anything.

Why a Girls' School? Because It Changes Everything.

There’s a reason why girls in all-girls’ schools perform better, lead more, and believe in themselves more.

✔ No Disruptions, No Stereotypes, No Limits
No boys being naughty and disruptive (or being called ‘heroes’ for it). Just a focused, positive learning environment where girls can excel without distractions.

✔ STEM, Sport, and Leadership? Absolutely!
Did you know girls at all-girls’ schools are more likely to take up STEM subjects and leadership roles? Here, they can step forward with confidence, without the gender expectations that often creep into mixed schools.

✔ A Network of Lifelong Friendships & Support
A girls’ school isn’t just about academics—it’s a sisterhood. A place where your daughter will find her people, build confidence, and feel fully supported every step of the way.
