Our motto “For Life Not School We Learn” is still relevant today and is at the heart of what drives us forward. It is reflected in the diversity of achievement across the school, which we proudly celebrate. In years 7 to 11 we have 600 girls on roll. Our Sixth Form is open to both girls and boys and has grown in numbers to over 200.
