WELCOME TO STAHS!

We are very proud of our warm and vibrant community of ambitious young people, caring and talented staff and supportive alumni and parents.

St Albans High School (we call it STAHS) is one of the country’s leading independent schools, offering a rich and diverse education to 1.150 pupils between the ages of four and 18. We are selective at all points of intake, and we are consistently ranked among the best independent schools in the UK.

STAHS opened in 1889 in a converted hospital on Holywell Hill, St Albans, one of many similar schools which were being established towards the end of the 19th century. We transferred to our current site on Townsend Avenue in the heart of the city in 1908, with the Prep School subsequently moving to the village of Wheathampstead in 2003. STAHS has close links with the diocese of St Albans through the Bishop and the Dean, the latter being an ex-officio governor of the School. We are affiliated to the Church of England, and we warmly welcome pupils and staff of all faiths or none.

Renowned for both exceptional academic provision and extensive co-curricular opportunities, STAHS pupils leave school as happy, confident and well-rounded young people ready to make their mark on the world.

STAHS has two sites, a few miles apart: the Prep School in leafy Wheathampstead and the Senior School in the historic city of St Albans, just 25 minutes from King’s Cross/London St Pancras. STAHS is proud to be a truly ‘through school’, with the majority of Year 6 pupils joining the Senior School for Year 7 and beyond.

Our Senior School of around 830 pupils from Year 7 to Year 13 has a visible and audible buzz, bustling with difference; difference of opinions, difference of ambitions and difference of interests.

Our Staff are devoted to preparing the young people in our care to live lives of consequence, making a meaningful impact on the world. We work together in a warm and grounded spirit that is uniquely ‘STAHS’. Please do see the Head’s Welcome on our website to find out why STAHS is such a special place.
