At A-level students can choose to study from twenty-seven subjects, some of which vary dramatically from Art and Design: Photography, Extended Project Qualification, Government and Politics, Spanish and Theology.

University Destination:

Boarding and Pastoral Care for students:

Boarding accommodation is available from Year 7 and upwards. The younger girls have their own onsite/house families whose responsibility is to ensure that the students feel comfortable, secure and welcome. Most of the students share dormitory rooms, which come with cabin beds with desk/wardrobe. There is full internet access throughout. Senior girls live in a separate terrace house opposite the school grounds, and all accommodation has the latest amenities.

Extracurricular Activities:

The school is very involved with its extracurricular subjects, which is why its creative writing programme and competitions have proven very popular in recent years. It also runs its very own student magazine, which has had great success among the student population. In Year 10 and Year 11, students can take the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme respectively. There is also the Exploration Society which helps students develop their sense of the environment, and how to utilise bush skills, and self-reliance in a seemingly inhospitable environment. Musically the school is one which is continuing the long-standing tradition of independent schooling and presently is concentrating on orchestral and choral music, though on an individual basis students can learn to play any musical instrument of their choice, whether as a beginner or wishing to further develop their skills.
