Just before half term we gathered in the cathedral to celebrate Portsmouth High School’s 144th birthday.
It was an opportunity to reflect on the school’s long history and the generations of girls who have learned and grown here. We also acknowledged the commitment of staff and the support of families, both past and present, who sustain our community. Our core values of curiosity, courage, kindness and integrity are not new inventions but enduring principles that have shaped Portsmouth High School since its earliest days and continue to guide us today.
