Good Schools Guide
“This is, we think, an outstanding school with a committed and inspirational head who quietly and firmly leads from the front. Single sex education doesn’t work for everyone, but the girls we saw were confident, unaffected and engaged. No preening, no hair flicking. Just happy, really.”
