"A rock solid reputation for academics, stand-out facilities and an ‘achieve anything’ ethos make this all-through girls’ school a must-see"

"... the school pushes itself out of its comfort zone to be unstuffy and down-to-earth, even priding itself on a self-confessed ‘quirkiness’"

"... girls are most definitely nurtured to be more warrior than wallflower, encouraged to be unafraid to choose their own path"

" Teachers here champion sporting excellence and healthy competitiveness is encouraged"

" Warm but not fluffy, friendly and nurturing, and for anyone who loves a quirky school with character"
