Camden School for Girls is a comprehensive girls' secondary school with a mixed Sixth Form. Camden School for Girls is situated in North London and has an age range of 11-18. It is one of the first schools for girls in the country, and was founded in 1871 by Frances Mary Buss , who previously (in 1850) established North London Collegiate School.
The 1999 Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) inspection report described the school as "a unique and very effective school in many ways." The most recent OFSTED report of March 2005 described Camden School for Girls as a "very good school with excellent features."
The school is heavily oversubscribed both at age 11 and for entry to the sixth form.
