Camden School for Girls is steeped in history and has a long standing tradition of providing an exceptional education for all its students. Camden was founded as a school for girls in 1871 by Frances Mary Buss, one of the great pioneers of women's education. The school therefore has a long tradition of promoting opportunities for girls.

We enable our students to find their own voices and develop their own opinions by encouraging a broad understanding of the world, a social conscience and a considerate approach to other people. Every student is valued, and we encourage all students to value other people as well.
Our aim is to nurture caring, confident, responsible and mature young adults who are ready to go on to the next stage of their education.
