Ealing, Greater London · W13 8AX
Founded in 1873 and part of the Girls' Day School Trust, Notting Hill & Ealing High School educates around 624 girls from age 4 to 18 on its Ealing site. A pupil-to-teacher ratio of roughly six to one is unusually generous and signals small classes and close attention.

With academic, music, art, sport and drama scholarships alongside means-tested bursaries, it aims to widen access beyond its day fees of up to £27,702 a year.
