We aim to educate the whole person. High academic standards are fostered through a curriculum embracing equally arts, science, languages and some practical skills. These are closely related to the conditions of contemporary life and careful consideration is given to new ideas in education; Economics, Computer Studies and Craft, Design and Technology have, for instance, been introduced in recent years and we follow the guide-lines of the National Curriculum.
Much emphasis is placed on good habits of work as a framework within which creativity, initiative and the enjoyment of learning can flourish. We also encourage activities and interests beyond the classroom routine - through Art, Drama, Music, practical activities and Sport - so that each girl may develop as a person and at the same time enjoy friendships with girls from many backgrounds both within and beyond her age group. Such activities may become the basis of future professional or leisure occupations. We believe that education is incomplete if it fails to foster integrity, humour, understanding, generosity and courtesy. Each girl is encouraged to contribute in her own way to the day-to-day life of the school and to share in its efforts to serve the wider community.
