Curriculum

Academic excellence is at the heart of our School curriculum. We’re passionate about learning and we believe that senior school years should be academically stimulating, exciting, challenging and rigorous.

Throughout the school girls are taught in small classes by excellent, committed teachers who understand how girls learn best and are able to adapt their teaching techniques in line with this. Our curriculum is designed to deliver an exciting and stimulating learning experience. We focus on developing a depth of learning and understanding.

At all stages of the curriculum we focus on developing a depth of understanding – it is this depth of understanding which will not only enable students to achieve the best possible examination results and university destinations, but will develop a lasting knowledge and a lifetime passion for learning.

Academically, the journey through the School is also one of growing independence in terms of thinking, learning and studying and as such we believe that it is important for us to equip girls with the skills they need for this – in other words, they need to learn how to learn effectively.

While sometimes learning inevitably means settling down with text books, we take every opportunity to bring those text books to life and enrich the curriculum with meaningful, real life experiences. Trips to museums and galleries, opportunities for guest speakers and interactive learning experiences feature at all stages of our curriculum.
