Welcome to Hitchin Girls' School - each year we welcome several students through the in-year admissions process. Please see the menu items on the right alongside this page for lots of useful information about starting life at Hitchin Girls' School.

If you have a question that isn't answered here or if there is anything else you would like to discuss, please don't hesitate to contact us at admissions@hgs.herts.sch.uk.

Useful Information

A Week / B Week

Our school weeks alternate between A Week and B Week, and the timetable is different for each one. The first week of each term is A Week. 

Lockers

You are encouraged to have a locker to reduce the amount of books and equipment you have to carry back and forth every day. Our lockers are leased and serviced by an external company and currently the annual fee is £30. See the lockers document at the bottom of this page for more information.

Reception

There is a Reception at the entrance of the Main School and also at the Woodside Block. If you feel unwell, have lost something or need any other help but are unsure where to go, the friendly office staff are there to assist.
