Hitchin Girls' School is a single-sex, all-ability community school with 1060 students on roll, including 236 in Years 12 and 13 and a teaching staff of 75. The school occupies a pleasant site on the top of Windmill Hill with its own playing fields and woods. As well as general classrooms, we have specialist teaching areas for Art and Design, Food, Textiles, Graphics and Resistant Materials, ICT and Business Technology, Drama, Mathematics, Music and Science.

We are a designated SpecialistScienceCollege , and hold the Gold Sportsmark, Silver Artsmark, ICT Mark, HealthySchools and School Achievement awards. In 2006 we won the Healthy Schools Award in the Eastern Region Teaching Awards and in January 2007 we were awarded the Connexions Hertfordshire Quality Award for Careers Education and Guidance. We are part of the Sixth Form Consortium run by the three secondary schools in the town and also offer an adult learning and community programme of events.

Hitchin Girls' School is committed to giving every student a broad education and helping her develop her individual talents to the full, in preparation for the demands of the outside world. In doing so, we respect the different religious and cultural backgrounds of the whole school community. Further information about the school can be found on the Hitchin Girls' School website.
