The school is heavily oversubscribed and is committed to providing an excellent education to children in the local area. We are proud of the progress our students make from their starting points during their time with us.

We foster the approach of ‘Brave, not perfect’ in our students and are committed to preparing them for a ‘world of opportunity’.
Our school is vibrant and diverse, serving the local area of New Malden. We value every individual and the rich wealth of experience, knowledge, values and beliefs they bring to our school. We are very proud of our students and their zest for life and new opportunities. The experience, passion and talent you will bring to our school will ensure we continue to provide the best education for our students and further increase the breadth of opportunity for the next generation.

Location
It was the healthy balance of girls being allowed to be whoever they wanted to be, with lots of extracurricular opportunities available to them, whilst also having a solid structure which drew me in to coming to work here.
- Mrs King, Deputy Headteacher & Quality of EducationMy belief is that teaching and learning are deeply interconnected. My love for teaching is intrinsically defined by this relationship. My involvement in international projects and exchanges provides pupils with an opportunity to engage with different cultures and expand their horizons, something I feel passionate about.
