Teaching & academics
The school's "excellent" ISI outcome speaks to consistently strong teaching and learning across the primary years. With places only to age 11, the focus falls squarely on preparing girls for the senior school transition, including 11+ entry. The intimate roll of fewer than 300 pupils allows close attention to each girl's progress.
