The Curriculum
We offer girls a broad and balanced curriculum with specialist teachers across all subjects. We encourage girls to be creative, independent learners and critical thinkers.
Games & The Arts
We nurture all girls’ musical talent by providing solo and ensemble performance opportunities. The Drama Department develops individuality, encouraging students to express themselves with flair, confidence and encouraging tolerance. The PE Department’s focus is on applying skills to sporting performance and leadership.
Pastoral Care
PSHEE and Citizenship is delivered through the curriculum and is an integral part of the pastoral support in the school.

Head Teacher’s Philosophy

As a catholic school, we promote “an attitude of gratitude” through prayers and assemblies, and teach pupils to be alert to the beauty around them.’
