What the school inspection says

“This is an exceptional school where pupils flourish. Staff are highly ambitious for pupils’ learning. All pupils benefit from a rigorous curriculum that is expertly taught. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. They are polite, courteous and focus diligently during lessons. Pupils frequently work collaboratively, reflecting their understanding of how they should support each other’s learning. Equally, their resilience and ability to work independently are carefully fostered … All pupils benefit from extensive opportunities beyond the academic curriculum. The personal opportunity programme significantly enriches pupils’ experience of school. The vast range of clubs, activities and societies ensure interests are nurtured across sporting, artistic, political, charitable and academic themes. Music is a particular strength of the school.”

About the school

Internationalism is at the core of this girls’ academy with a coeducational sixth form, and is reflected across the curriculum and personal development programme. Longstanding links with Kanto International School in Japan, GT College in Hong Kong and the School of Science and Technology in Singapore have led to visits and exchanges under the World School programme.
Trips to Iceland, New York and Silicon Valley in the US, and Morocco have consolidated learning and introduced new ideas.
In the opening term of the school year, there is a clubs and societies fair, showcasing more than 80 extracurricular opportunities. The choices include Spanish, classics and business, gospel choir, kickboxing and netball.
The school’s Personal Opportunities Programme on Wednesday afternoons gives pupils the chance to try something new and take time for wellbeing.
