Here it is not only the tallest, most athletic girls who represent the school at netball, or the most extrovert who get the speaking roles in plays.  Everyone is valued, and we encourage and celebrate excellence and enthusiasm in equally high measure. Every girl is involved in the life and experiences that the school has to offer. 

The school has become expert at teaching girls since 1884. As we rarely advertise, almost all our girls come here through word of mouth. If you haven’t arrived here through a personal recommendation, you may wish to read an independent review of the school from the current Good Schools' Guide or our 2011 Inspection Report. We are understandably pleased with both but, as any current parent will tell you, there is really no substitute for coming to see us in person. What should be immediately apparent to anyone visiting the school is this: small class sizes, a culture of learning, and an environment in which treating each other with respect and kindness is the norm, not an aim.
