Teaching & academics
The ISI's 'excellent' rating for the quality of pupils' education reflects a school built around small-group teaching, with classes kept tight enough for staff to know each girl well. The same low ratio that supports stretch also underpins the school's capacity to support its sizeable cohort of pupils on SEN support. As a prep school spanning ages 4 to 13, teaching is geared towards senior school entry at the end of Year 8.

Mobile phone policy
Older pupils may bring a phone to school for safety when travelling independently, but it must be switched off on arrival and handed in for the day. Phones are only returned at the end of the day for communication about collection or transport home. While smartphones are permitted, a basic 'brick' phone is recommended wherever possible.
