I hate you all
Terrible school. Allows the quiet ones to suffer in silence and takes the wrong sides, enabling the real problem students to get away with their horrible behaviour.

Broke ?
It’s a decent enough school, with good education and a great sense of community, the only thing i will say about it is that the school is broke.

Needs to change
I came to this school with hope; but huge anxiety as this was a world unknown. When I realised cliques were forming quickly, many were left in a corner with nothing but hope of the day to finish. (myself included). No one tried to change that dynamic. Bulimia and Anorexia ran riot throughout the school and I remember clearly - Ms B*******s and other teachers bring us to an assembly. "Girls stop throwing up in the toilets - you're blocking the pipes". Nothing else was addressed. I had my skirt...

Terrible
very high pressure environment - students often end up suffering with poor mental health and receive little to no pastoral support as most teacher have only expressed concern for grades. emphasis is placed on STEM minded students and is not a welcoming environment to disabled/SEN students either. many teachers regularly bully children over small, useless rules such as only accepting white socks (and no other color) for PE. high amounts of homework and pressure many of the students have turned t...

Amazing part of my life
Amazing school full of kind, hardworking and intelligent peers. We have good ethos and value wellbeing for ourselves as well as others through various charitable events that we can take part in. The teachers are very able, as well as fun and funny! As a student, as long as u avoid a certain teacher whose name rhymes with pie, you will have no problem with staff (who are friendly) and you will have the best time of your life here. Honestly its an amazing place to be and I feel comfortable and safe here, perhaps bcuz it’s a girls school. I could go on and on about the expansive sports, STEM and arts opportunities, as well as amazing academics, but I’ll stop here. ?

extremely poor
absolutely do not recommend!!! this school is a terrible and damaging place to send your girls, putting so much pressure and standards too high to reach. they have clearly no clue what to do when it comes to neurodivergent or independent students as the school relies on fear to keep its students in shape. the head teacher is a harsh woman and has no sympathy for the girls attending. do not send your daughter here!

please NO
this school is terrible at handling racism, bullying and religious intolerance. also, the amount of academic pressure put on the children is damaging. this is also a very ableist school that does little to include children who are disabled; physically and mentally. saved by the fact that some teachers are the most supportive people you’ll ever meet, and the fact that its a high achieving school

Not bad!
Great school however doesn’t live up to its reputation as being strongly academic.
