What the school inspection says

“The school aims to develop in young women the academic and moral strength for them to become bold, resourceful, well-balanced individuals who have the capacity to lead and shape the modern world ... Pupils’ excellent progress and attainment is underpinned by highly individualised provision ... They have outstanding attitudes to their learning, and are highly productive individually and in co-operation with others. Pupils are confident and articulate communicators. Pupils excel in a wide variety of extracurricular activities … and benefit from the excellent coaching and commitment from staff ... Pupils have excellent self-confidence and self-awareness for their age and make intelligent choices about their learning and personal lives.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2022 and a routine inspection in 2025.
