We are delighted to have been chosen as one of five finalists in the Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Awards 2024 in the Prepared for Life category. It is wonderful to be recognised for the excellent preparation we offer our eldest students as they bridge the gap between school and university within the state-of-the-art environment of the Old School House, particularly after having also won the Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Special Sixth Form Award in 2023.

With our students, we work on the basis that knowledge is power – the more prepared and knowledgeable our students are about the world beyond school, the less it will faze them when they leave, and the more prepared they will be for what comes next. The Fearless Girl embodies our approach to everything we do in school, and a model of her stands proudly in our foyer.

Students are offered outstanding preparation for their choice of university, whether in the UK or abroad, and their future careers, as well as unrivalled enrichment, co-curricular and leadership opportunities. Our Sixth Form team really get to know each individual pupil and offer them bespoke support and mentorship to allow them to achieve their fullest potential and realise their dreams. Ultimately, our aim is for our students to emerge as resourceful, imaginative and brave young women, imbued with skills such as critical thinking, resilience, creativity, storytelling and adaptability that will set them apart in a fast-changing technological world.

Congratulations to all the students involved, and thank you to our wonderful Sixth Form team for the exceptional academic and pastoral support they offer them. Thank you so much to Muddy Stilettos – judging is in its final stages and we can’t wait for the winners to be announced on 27th June.
