Results, Performance & Testimonials
Our school is unique. We teach and care for the girls in equal measure. We are not, and refuse to be, an exam factory. We provide excellent education, enrichment and pastoral support, a combination that ensures our students leave school with a sense of their own giftedness and achievement, equipped to face the future.
Exam results, are not and should not be the whole story, however this commitment to the personal development and education of each and every student in our care is the reason our pupils are progressing so well.
