Staff and PupilsWe have a team of well-qualified teachers and classroom assistants who work closely with one another to extend and support the children's learning. All staff at our school recognise that each child has her own special talent, which we promote and nurture; we work to ensure that the education of each child develops in personal, social, academic and spiritual dimensions.
Each class has its own form teacher; specialist teachers take the girls for a variety of subjects, including Art, Music, French, Science, Drama and PE. Class numbers are small which allows each pupil to receive individual help and attention.
