A Message from the Heads
Under normal circumstances, we always enjoy having families come and visit us but this year we are having to do things a little differently. Earlier in the Term, we held a virtual Open Day and our Senior School Virtual Taster Days proved very popular. As a result of Lockdown 2 we have had to cancel the remaining Senior School tours.
We will be holding Virtual Sixth Form Open Evenings on Thursday 19 November. You can register for our Girls' Division event here or our Boys' Division event here.
You can learn lots more about our Nursery, Infant, Junior and Senior Schools from the videos and links as you scroll down this page.
Sue Hincks, Headmistress of the Girls’ Division
