What the school inspection says

Date of report
2020
Verdict *
Outstanding
“The girls’ achievement and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are both outstanding. As a result they are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their life. The girls achieve well-above average standards by the end of Year 11 and make better than expected progress in a very wide variety of subjects. … The sixth form is good and rapidly improving, with teaching that is equally as strong as in the rest of the school and a range of courses that meet very well the needs of all the girls. … They model the school’s Christian ethos which threads through all the school’s work.” This was a remote monitoring visit in 2020.
