Headteacher Oliver Blond
"Girls' achievement is good overall and for some it is outstanding. Consequently, the school meets its aim of promoting academic excellence as part of the broader context of education. Considerable success in examinations is combined with real enthusiasm for learning across the wide range of activities provided. Pupils have considerable linguistic skills and a strong grasp of mathematical concepts which enables them to be confident in oral work, to write analytically and to apply mathematics in subjects such as chemistry and physics. There was evidence of pupils' creativity and sensitivity in a number of lessons. Notable examples were seen in art and English. Practical work is carried out skilfully in a Year 12 physics lesson pupils were confident in planning an electrical investigation and in beginning to take measurements using standard equipment independently. On leaving the school, substantial numbers gain places at their first choice of university."
