About Presdales School
Presdales School is a single sex comprehensive school in Ware for girls aged 11-18, with boys welcomed in the Sixth Form. We have a long tradition of providing an outstanding education for our students. Formerly Ware Grammar School for Girls, which opened in 1906, we became Presdales School in the mid-1960s, and a fully comprehensive school in the early 1970s. The mansion house, which fronts the school, and our stunning grounds provide a calm and relaxed atmosphere for our school community.
We are very proud of the high academic standards that our students achieve, regardless of their starting point. Our motto, ‘Achievement for All’, runs through all that we do. We understand that every student is an individual, with different interests, strengths and characteristics, and we celebrate the diversity that each one of them brings to our community. We believe that all students, with the appropriate balance of support and challenge, can be successful.
We aim to develop their creativity and independence inside and outside of classroom lessons. There is an extensive range of extra-curricular clubs and activities, including numerous trips throughout the school year, which provide students with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, to be part of a team and to develop a ‘can-do’ attitude.
Our vision and values are instilled in our students throughout their time with us, whether this be through our House system, the excellent pastoral care they will receive or the culture of achievement for all that we foster in our community. We want our students to be happy and confident young women who are ready to make a meaningful contribution to our global society.
