We believe that the opportunities we offer for girls’ education and personal development make the School a very attractive option –

  • first-class teaching which develops every girl’s potential
  • exceptionally high academic standards –

at GCSE, 82% of the grades awarded in 2009 were A*/A (nationally it’s just under 22%), with 74% of our Year 11 girls gaining A* or A grades in all their subjects. Our overall pass rate was 99.3%, compared with the rate nationally of 67%

at A-level, 83% of the grades awarded in 2009 were A or B (nationally it’s 52%). Just under 58% of our girls gained grade A in their subject, compared to 27% nationally. Almost half our students achieved straight ‘A’ grades across all their subjects
