A Distinctive Education

You would like your daughter to attend a school that will:

  • encourage and motivate her, by understanding her as an individual
  • enable her to discover and develop her skills and abilities to the full
  • ensure she realises her full academic potential without undue pressure
  • help her to develop into a poised, compassionate and confident young woman.

This is what we aim to provide at King’s High.


The Benefits of a Single Sex School
  • Single sex schools can and do produce better exam results. The percentage of A grades achieved at A level in 2005 by girls in independent single sex schools in sciences, maths, further maths, French, history and geography, was on average 10% higher than that of girls in independent co- educational schools. The percentages are similar for boys educated in single sex schools.

  • Boys and girls mature at different rates and therefore learn in different ways.

  • They can benefit from learning in an environment which recognises these differences and tailors their education accordingly.

  • Girls still tend to be less confident and daring than boys. The encouragement and nurturing provided in a single sex school builds their confidence and enables them to step out at 18 well able to hold their own in the world.

Today's forward-thinking single sex schools are uniquely placed to help their pupils grow graciously and confidently into young women and young men who can happily and responsibly find their place in the modern world.
