Philips High School
Philips High School was originally founded as a Grammar school in 1688 and to this day has retained some of the nostalgia, charm and high academic standards of the old school. When you first visit Philips High School, you immediately sense the warm welcoming atmosphere from our pupils and staff. This wonderful, vibrant community is a great place to learn and achieve. It is hard to find a school that educates the whole person both academically and pastorally.
The former Grammar school building and first-class facilities provide a stimulating environment that is both distinctive and inspirational. Our curriculum is both broad and ambitious, rooted in unrivalled holistic excellence. We place equal importance on performing arts, the creative subjects, technology, academia and sport through a vast range of experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. This fosters happy, confident and well-rounded young people.
