School Ethos

Historical past, Vibrant future
Established over a century ago on a foundation which has provided for education in the area since 1620 the school has for generations fostered individual talent while offering a broad curriculum to all. From Classics to Chemistry, subjects taught combine the best of the traditional with the most recent developments in Information Technology. The school enters the 21st Century with confidence based on a history of distinguished academic excellence and a proven ability to respond to change.

The language of progress
Pupils enter the main school with eager anticipation of new horizons opening out. They are not disappointed. Experienced tutors guide the girls as they learn to manage a timetable covering an exciting range of subjects, taught in specialist rooms by highly qualified staff. Expert support is provided as the girls learn to manage their time and balance the demands of schoolwork with recreational activities and life at home.

Learning by experience
A successful school draws from its past and builds for its future. ln every aspect of school life, experience is the key to learning; the experience of a committed staff dedicated to unlocking the potential of their pupils, and the experience gained by the girls as they avail themselves of the wide range of opportunities offered.

Discovering true potential
One of the strengths of the school is that it draws its pupils from a wide variety of backgrounds. Individual support through a strong pastoral system is regarded as important. In a disciplined yet friendly environment we aim for every girl to grow academically, morally and spiritually.
