Headmistress' Breakfasts take place between December and June, arrival from 8.45-9.10am and finishing at approximately 10.30am. This is an opportunity to see the School 'in action' on a normal school day. We have a small group of families who join us for breakfast with the opportunity to talk with the Headmistress, Mrs Dougall, and senior staff. Families then have a tour of the School campus with a current Sixth Form student and Lower School student. This event is relevant to all entry points available at St Helen's. We have several Headmistress' Breakfasts throughout the year, other future dates include:?
Ideally, your first visit to the School would be at our Open Day at least one year prior to entry, although we would encourage you to come along earlier - children of all ages are welcome. Following this visit, in the year prior to entry, you are invited to make an appointment with the Headmistress, to tour the School with one of our Sixth Form students and to meet with Admissions. Please contact our Admissions Office to request an appointment.
