Palmers Green High School - London
On 8th May 1905 Palmers Green High School and Kindergarten was opened by its founder, Miss Alice Hum. Originally located in Number 1, Osborne Road, Palmers Green, the school had twelve pupils when it began, but by 1918 the school had grown to 300 pupils and had moved to Avondale Hall, in Hoppers Road.
Although the Avondale Hall site is where the school is currently located, pupils from the early days would hardly recognise PGHS now since many renovations, alterations and additions have taken place since that time.
The school has always had a strong tradition of raising money for charity. During the First World War the girls helped to raise funds for children in Europe, and made weekly contributions to support a bed in a hospital for soldiers.
