We support our girls to achieve their personal best
We are confident that our outstanding results speak for themselves; in 2024, at A level/Pre-U, 82% of the grades achieved by the girls were A* – B and many girls went on to pursue higher education at first class university destinations.
A curriculum which recognises and rewards in-depth learning
The vast majority of students will study three subjects. Some girls may wish to study four subjects and it may be advisable for some to do so if they are considering particular professional courses, such as Medicine, at certain universities. These decisions will be made in consultation with the Futures Department.
All subjects (aside from the Extended Project Qualification and Higher Education and Research Skills) are taught via eight 40 minute lessons a week.
