Background:

The school is located within 27 acres of woodlands and playing fields. The school encourages staff and pupils to make use of the grounds for scientific and environmental investigation as well as for physical education activities such as athletics and hockey. All pupils are allowed access to classrooms and common areas at break and lunchtime which provides them with the opportunity to socialise in a civilised environment. Subjects are taught in well-equipped suites of specialist teaching rooms located close to resources and preparation rooms. The school values all members of the school community equally. It seeks to develop their skills and abilities, and encourage them to contribute to all areas of school life. The school aims to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for each pupil which will help her achieve her best, develop her confidence and encourage her to be a thoughtful, active member of society. The school considers that its aims for its pupils are best achieved through a close partnership between school and home, and it works together with parents to ensure their daughter's success.
