About

Choosing the right School for your daughter is one of the most challenging decisions you will make as a parent, and this is your opportunity to learn more about us. Many of us here at Adcote are parents ourselves, so we completely understand that difficulty. Fortunately, support and understanding are at the heart of everything we offer at Adcote.

Adcote School, independent girls only, was founded in 1907 by the pioneering Amy Gough, whose vision was to provide excellent schooling for young women. Whilst our curriculum has changed, our values have not and it is still our absolute mission to provide a first class, progressive education for all the girls in our care.

We believe passionately in the advantages of educating girls in a single sex environment . Our outstanding staff are specialists in the way girls learn. We understand the challenges that modern women will face in their futures and our unique CLEAR Learning Programme equips them with all the skills they will need in order to thrive and be happy in the 21st Century.
