About Our School

A place where girls are emboldened to be their authentic selves, we are extremely proud that our students achieve their very best in all disciplines. This year, 59% of A Level passes were at A*/A and the school has a regular place in the Top 5% of the UK’s educational establishments for progress made by our students at A Level. But it’s about more than just the lessons.

We asked our parents to choose any three words to describe a typical student. The most popular choices were Happy, Confident and Polite and we firmly believe that this is a direct result of watching their daughters grow up in an environment where every girl matters and every girl is supported and challenged to become the very best that she can be.

Being a smaller school allows us to provide truly bespoke development for your daughter’s skills, exceptional academic support and first class teaching in focussed classes that enable girls to follow their curiosity way beyond the syllabus. The wealth of co-curricular and enrichment opportunities here will also mean your daughter will discover and develop new talents, whilst forming friendships that last a lifetime.

It is this perfect combination that means our students leave with offers to the world’s top universities and results that mean we are considered one of the best schools in the country. 

Just over 300 girls, aged 4 to 18, are part of our school community on a day, weekly or flexi boarding basis. Within our halls, they flourish into confident, resilient and articulate young adults, ready to embrace the challenge of life beyond school with enthusiasm.
