Baston School for girls is a busy, happy community and whilst developments are constantly taking place to meet the changing needs of the 1990's, the school retains the best of traditional ways and values. The school is situated on the southern outskirts of Bromley in 14 acres of ground. A new music and classroom block opened in January 1998 and our dyslexia unit opened in September 1997.
Baston continues to achieve high academic standards from a broad ability intake, with over 80% of Year 13 girls going into higher education. The school aims to enable each girl to develop her personality and capabilities to the full and to enjoy the whole education process. Baston is large enough to be able to offer a wide range of subjects and creative, musical and sporting activities but small enough to be able to cater to the individual needs of every pupil.
The class sizes are deliberately kept small to enable more individual attention to be given. The progress of each child is carefully monitored through a system of regular testing, termly reports, Parents' Evenings and annual examinations, all supplemented by the use of individual contact books to ensure a close working communication between parents and the school.
In the sixth form most girls follow a three 'A' level course but 'A' level programmes for other individuals can include a variety of other work including keyboard skills and further GCSE subjects. A wide range of subjects is offered in the Arts, Humanities and Sciences enabling the school to meet the requirements of all its Sixth Form students.
Choosing the right school for your child is probably one of the most important decisions you will make. By choosing Baston, parents can be confident that they are assuring their daughter's future for the 21st century.
Why not visit the school, meet the staff and see the facilities for yourself. The Principal and Headmaster are always happy to meet prospective parents personally or parents can attend any one of the regular Open Days. A warm welcome is assured.
