St. Francis’ is a vibrant and warm academic community where relationships—and dreams—truly matter.
At St. Francis’ College, we believe in empowering every student to achieve their full potential in a supportive and inspiring environment. Our vibrant and inclusive community fosters strong relationships between students, teachers, and parents, creating a foundation for both academic success and personal growth. As an all-girls’ day and boarding school, we provide an environment where students are encouraged to lead, express themselves freely, and pursue their ambitions with confidence. Research highlights the benefits of single-sex education, and at St.Francis’, we see our students develop resilience, independence, and a strong sense of self. Rooted in our Dream, Dare, Achieve philosophy, we instil values of determination, motivation and resilience ensuring that every student is prepared for the future.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusivity welcomes families from all backgrounds, creating a school where every girl feels valued and supported. Whether excelling in academics, the arts, or leadership, our students leave St. Francis’ as confident young women, ready to make a difference in the world. As one of the top all-girls independent schools in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, we pride ourselves in empowering students to achieve their aspirations. At St. Francis’, every voice matters, every ambition is supported, and every girl is given the opportunity to shine.
