Hornsey School for Girls is the only all-girl secondary school located in the borough of Haringey, situated in the Hornsey/Crouch End area of North London.
The school began as a girls' grammar school the Hornsey High School for Girls in 1887, by the Church Schools Company (now the United Church Schools Trust). In 1915 it moved to new buildings in Weston Park. In 1968, it moved again, to newly built premises on Inderwick Road on the site of the former village of Abyssinia (later known as Hornsey Vale).[1]
It later became a girls-only comprehensive school.
In 2023, it was discovered that parts of the school were in danger of collapse due to RAAC construction. Remedial works had to be initiated. [2]
