The sense of community is strong at the High School; you will notice that the School has a special feel as soon as you walk through the door. We are a forward-thinking and progressive school with an outward-looking curriculum and a rich and diverse extracurricular programme.
Our commitment to developing the whole person prepares students well for the challenges and opportunities that they will face in the rapidly changing world in which they live. We value tradition and traditional values, but not for the sake of it. Personal development from childhood to adulthood is also of great importance to us.
Our students grow into independent, articulate young women (and young men in the Sixth Form) who take responsibility for, and make decisions about their lives and their futures in an informed and intelligent way. We are proud of our excellent pastoral care and guidance, which ensures that no student is lost in the crowd.
We base all that we do on the mutual respect of all the members of our School community. Teamwork and friendship are important to everyone at the High School; we are all important cogs in a very big wheel.
