- The girls’ day school in the heart of London added a junior school in 2024, expanding the age range from 4-18. Its Promise Campaign aims to build a £15 million endowment fund to double bursary provision by 2032. About a third of parents donate to bursaries.
- The range of clubs is constantly under review. More than 80 are on the books at a time, covering drama, music, art, sciences, languages and sport — and even the Krav Maga self-defence system. The school also holds a summer music festival and London’s cultural attractions are nearby. Recent trips further afield have included skiing in France and a geography expedition to Iceland.
- Great value is placed on creativity, innovation and enterprise in the belief that academic results come “in the slipstream” of opportunities beyond the classroom. Sixth-formers have the chance to give a Ted talk on any “idea worth sharing”.
- There is a team of five counsellors and the school’s therapy dog — a Hungarian vizsla — provides cuddles.
