About Parmiter's School

Parmiter's is a partially selective 11-18 co-educational school of 1496 students, including 418 in the Sixth Form. Academic results are consistently strong and we remain the most heavily oversubscribed school in Hertfordshire.

Parmiter’s is an academy, receiving government funding as well as support from the Parmiter's Foundation, which owns the school and its site and continues to invest in the school’s development. Our accommodation, sports and many other facilities are exceptionally good, well-resourced and well-maintained.

In July 2024, Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in all areas, commenting, "Throughout the school, including the Sixth Form, pupils thrive. They receive an exceptional standard of education. Not only do pupils achieve high academic success, but they also develop into well-rounded, active members of society."

As a large secondary Academy, we have many opportunities for both teaching and support staff. Parmiter's is an exciting and enjoyable place to work. New colleagues are made welcome and supported by a comprehensive induction programme, which means that you quickly feel at home. Our involvement as a strategic partner of the Watford Partnership for Teacher Training has further broadened our CPD and INSET opportunities to support colleagues at all stages of their careers.

Parmiter’s School is committed to our vision statement:

Nemo sibi nascitur: our values of community, aspiration and opportunity

With particular focus on:

the pursuit of excellence in all that we do;

Our primary aim is for each Parmiterian to be self-assured and caring, an active and well-rounded citizen with integrity, who respects others and contributes to society.
