For over 125 years, Portsmouth High School has been delivering excellence in girls' education.

Founded in 1882, by the Girls Day School Trust, to which we are proud to belong today - the largest and most consistently successful family of independent schools in the UK, we have established an outstanding reputation for academic excellence and a happy, supportive environment. 

Our philosophy is to recognise and value each child's individuality, nurturing their own personality as they develop into confident, informed young women.

Without doubt our strength is our size; as a small school we have the time and the skill to enable every girl to achieve her potential; yet as part of a network of twenty-nine schools within the Girls' Day School Trust we have the benefits of significant resources and shared best practice to ensure that from day one, we work together towards a shared ambition - personal fulfilment.
