The school offers excellent pastoral care, a good academic education and inclusive sporting coaching. The girls play regular matches in hockey, netball, football and cricket, as well as having lessons in swimming, athletics, tennis, gymnastics and dancing.\n\nThere are lots of opportunities to take part in drama, art and music.
