We aim to foster a life-long enthusiasm for learning
The single sex environment of the Girls' School promotes a self-confidence that contributes to higher academic development and achievement. Our pastoral system reinforces this self-confidence and instils a feeling of being a valued and happy pupil ready to contribute to the life of the School and beyond.
"The quality of pupils' achievements is excellent. They are extremely well educated, in line with the schools’ aims to enable pupils to develop their academic, sporting, artistic, leadership and other talents." ISI Report 2011.
