Recognising that success and purpose stem from feeling valued, we work hard together to ensure that our girls feel supported and secure at all times in school.
The Junior School provides the perfect foundation for the girls’ successful transfer into our Senior School. Intellectual curiosity and in-depth learning are encouraged through research, general knowledge, open-ended investigations and collaborative learning activities.
