Ofsted
“The girls are inquisitive, interested and involved learners. In the great majority of lessons, all students make good and often outstanding progress in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding. This is because, during their time at the school, they are encouraged to question and build on their teachers’ and each others thinking.”
