Take a closer look...
Imagine a place where girls are put first in everything they do, a place where ballet tutus and textiles creations hang alongside racing driver’s overalls and football kit. Take a look at our school videos to find out a little bit more.
Aspiring Medics Programme
A bespoke two-year programme for girls wishing to further their studies in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.
Senior School
Visitors are always struck by the friendliness, self-confidence and all-round enthusiasm of our pupils. Encouraged to follow their dreams, they like to aim high.
Prep School
We take girls aged 4-11 and introduce them to a wonderful world of fascinating facts and intriguing possibilities. Smiles and laughter are the norm.
Sixth Form
Our Sixth Formers have their own separate building where they can study, relax and enjoy downtime with friends. Individual teaching attention ensures they do well.
Boarding
With many en suite rooms, comfortable living accommodation and a great family feel, our boarding houses are always popular. A perfect home from home.
Admissions
Most girls join us in September but we’re happy to take new pupils at other times in the academic year subject to space. Taster Days are essential.

Take A Look Around

Why Choose Us?

Because we believe every individual’s capacity for learning and exploring their own talents is limitless. We also believe that teaching girls separately from boys releases them from gender stereotyping. Astrophysics? Great idea. Olympic pentathlete? Give it a go.

Because we think that success is nothing without happiness and that caring for each other is key.
