Senior School Harpenden
Choosing the right senior school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. For parents near Harpenden, we understand that you want more than strong exam results. You want a place where your child is truly known, valued, and treasured. That is exactly what we offer at St Columba’s College, situated near St Albans in Hertfordshire, and just a short distance from Harpenden.
We welcome students from age 11 into a community that holds holistic education at its heart. We believe that education is not simply about making a living. It is about creating a life. So, from the moment a student joins us, we get to know them as individuals and build our support around them.
Academic Excellence That Speaks For Itself
We are proud of what our students achieve. Our GCSE results demonstrate the high standards we set and the personal attention we give every pupil. A strong majority of all GCSE results are awarded at the top grades of 9 to 7, and many students achieve an average grade of 7 or higher across all their subjects. Furthermore, our A Level results are equally impressive, with a significant proportion of grades awarded at A* to B.
These outcomes do not happen by accident. We invest in stretch and challenge programmes, digital learning, and dedicated academic support. So, every student receives the right level of encouragement, whether they need an extra push or additional reinforcement. We tailor our approach to each individual, and the results speak for themselves.
