“Pupils are encouraged to become the ‘history-makers’ of the future. When planning their future careers, they aspire to professional lives and positions of responsibility. Over half of students in the sixth form go on to study for degrees in ‘Stem’ subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Ultimately, pupils live up to the school’s exceptionally high expectations of them. The girls are courageous in their choices, often challenging gender stereotypes. The school’s high ambition for what pupils can achieve academically is balanced with a focus on them becoming a well-rounded person. The school is sensitive to pupils’ emotional and mental health … Participation in the school’s wide extracurricular offer is high, especially among disadvantaged pupils.”
