HISTORY:
St Hilda's was started as one of the Church of England Schools in connection with the Deaconess Home and was known as the Deaconess High School. The objective then was to 'afford a liberal and thorough education for girls combined with moral and religious training in the doctrines of the Church of England'. The school is named for St Hilda, Abbess of Whitby.

The School first catered to boys and girls but the boys did not have place there when they reach age 10 years.
