“The school is a small, friendly and culturally diverse community. Every girl is known well; as one pupil said, ‘We are like a family.’ The school’s ethos that ‘every child counts’ permeates throughout the life of the school. Staff work hard to ensure that individual pupils make good academic progress, and that they are safe and well cared for.”
