St Hilda's is an Independent day school for girls aged 3 - 11, although boys are accepted into the Kindergarten. The school occupies a four acre site between Bushey Village and Bushey Heath. The excellent facilities include good areas for recreation and games, two tennis courts, a large Sports Hall, and a covered heated swimming pool, enabling pupils to swim throughout the year. There are Science and Technology laboratories and a well equipped Computer Room.
Great importance is attached to the teaching of reading, language skills and mathematics. Art, music, drama and dance are all taught as part of the curriculum and French is taught from the age of 3 years. The school is justly proud of its high academic standards; each child is an individual and is treated as such. Since it is our aim to develop the full potential of each pupil, the children are exposed to a broad curriculum balanced and enhanced by experiences out of the classroom. Field trips, workshops and theatre outings dovetail into an exciting and stimulating curriculum in a happy and caring environment.
Extra curricular activities include Ballet, Tap, Judo, Drama Club and Squad Swimming. We provide 'After School Care' until 6.00pm five days a week during term time. The children using this service are provided with a drink and a snack, and depending on age, will have the opportunity to rest, play, watch selected TV programmes or do their homework, under supervision, in a secure, caring environment.
