The ethos of our school is one of intellectual challenge combined with real heart, resulting in an atmosphere of true originality. We create learning opportunities and environments that encourage girls to take risks, make connections and develop strength as well as insight. Our girls are encouraged to be individuals, but as part of a closely bonded network of friends, teachers and parents.
