The School welcomes girls of all faiths and none, who are happy to support the ethos. Located on the Hampshire/Surrey border, the School has excellent transport links, both by train and road, while enjoying a beautiful and inspiring setting in over 65 acres of parkland.

Farnborough Hill is a vibrant community. The vision for pupils is simple: to help them become the very best version of themselves.

From this diversity and belief comes a unity of purpose: to develop young women, each strong, compassionate and courageous, each going into the world to play a positive role.
