- “I can do it and I will do it” is the school’s maxim. This selective girls’ school has been nurturing independent, creative and ambitious young women since 1704.
- One of the school’s values is curiosity, which students have the chance to satisfy through a varied curriculum and enrichment activities. An expedition to Vietnam has been among the trips offered, as well as visits to France, Amsterdam and Iceland.
- Winter and spring music concerts are key events in the school calendar and pupils can join a vast range of bands, choirs, ensembles and orchestras.
- Many of the extracurricular clubs — numbering almost 100, from Bollywood dance and crochet, to engineering and British Sign Language — are led by students. Sports are enjoyed at both competitive and recreational levels.
