We teach girls about their place in, and their
obligations towards, the wider world with charity
days, ensuring they do not become too parochial
in outlook. Extra-curricular activities play a major
role in school life too, again challenging the girls to
look at new subjects and pursuits within a totally
supportive environment, be they artistic, sporting
or musical.
The performing arts are a wonderful method of
building self-confidence in the young girls at the
School. Individual music lessons, the school

orchestra, choir and string sections offer a chance
for those of a musical bent, while dance is taught
both as part of PE and in extra-curricular clubs
at lunchtime.
Sport plays a big part in school life too, with five
periods of specialist PE teaching and a number of
extra-curricular clubs every week.We look to
nurture a love of sport for its own sake so that
girls can find activities which they enjoy and will
continue to pursue. Bringing enjoyment and
enthusiasm to sport is a central aim.
