A happy child learns faster and has more self-confidence. With this in mind, we strive to provide a positive learning environment where each girl will thrive, growing into a well-rounded, well-educated and successful young woman. Top quality teachers who inspire the girls in their subjects are key to achieving this. We are fortunate to have teachers and support staff of the highest calibre.
Single sex schools can and do produce better exam results. Recent research shows that the percentage of A grades achieved at A level 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.
