Headteacher’s Welcome
What we believe in… Our values permeate through all we do…
Our Values Statement...
We have designed our School Values CODE Statement in order to help define how we go about achieving our Ethos. We are a ‘values-based’ school, within which we believe in aspiration, fairness, equality, the rule of law, respect, tolerance, justice, care and courtesy, all of which are interwoven within our School CODE.

Our School Structure...
For 11-16-year olds, we are a selective Girls Grammar School. For 16-18-year olds, we are a mixed Sixth Form with a comprehensive intake.
We are proud that we provide an environment which nurtures and values young people, enabling them to grow into confident, successful adults and educated citizens, helping them to develop their Cultural Capital and engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.
We aim to equip our students with the experiences, skills and self-esteem to decide on what their future can be, and then, to gain the qualifications which will set them onto that path. Our students blossom here, they are articulate, focused and determined individuals and we provide an environment which encourages and stimulates intellectual curiosity.
Our Curriculum (LLORR)...
We seek to nurture a Love of Learning, to create lifelong Opportunities, and instil a sense of Respect and develop our learners’ Resilience (LLORR)
We are ambitious for all!

Our Ambition...
Qualifications are a passport to our students’ on-going success. The results gained by our students are fantastic. At A-Level and GCSE our results are consistently impressive, allowing students to open doors to opportunities and aspirations.
Furthermore, we strive to prepare students for the challenges and joys that come with a fulfilled and happy life, both here and beyond.
Our students rise to challenges and are forward thinking and community spirited. Opportunities for leadership and individual development are offered throughout the school.
We are proud of the spirit of collaboration and care which is apparent from the moment one steps into the school.
We are proud of our students, our staff, our community, and our school!
