We are proud to share that both Habs Girls and Habs Boys have been rated ‘very good’ by The Telegraph in their latest review of best value private schools in the UK.

The Telegraph’s value for money score is, effectively, a fee:grade ratio, calculated by looking at A Level and GCSE grades alongside the annual fees paid, with a number of adjustments being made for comparability.

As two high-performing academically ambitious schools, we strive for the highest outcomes for our students, which is evidenced by our yearly GCSE and A Level results. Habs Girls has been described as “one of the best academic Girls’ Schools around…” by The Good Schools Guide 2024/5.

Additionally, this year’s value-for-money score makes some minor adjustments for facilities. The Telegraph conducted its own research to certify whether each school has any of 11 key amenities, eight of which the Habs Elstree site has.
We are pleased The Telegraph recognises the importance of school facilities – at Habs, we believe excellence goes far beyond exam results. The depth and breadth of our co-curricular programme is testament to this, enabling our students to excel academically while also pursuing their personal interests and talents.

“High octane sports programme, with five-star facilities across the board – seven tennis courts, fabulous swimming pool (lifeguard training anyone?), sports hall, gym and fitness suite among them. Elite athletes at regional and national level in everything from fencing to athletics to lacrosse.” – The Good Schools Guide report, on Habs Girls.
The Telegraph’s recognition reflects our commitment to delivering outstanding education with lasting impact, preparing our students not just for exams, but for life beyond Habs.
