We are always pleased to welcome applications from siblings of pupils already attending the school. Whilst we encourage families to stay together if the right fit, as an academically selective school, all applicants are considered on their own merit and must meet our entry requirements. All applicants are invited to interview, ensuring they have every opportunity to shine.

The food is excellent. We have a choice of hot meals and salads, baked potatoes, freshly-made soup, and always a vegetarian option. Every day there is a choice of puddings, home-made yoghurt and fruit.

Girls are not allowed to go out on their own during their first and second year, but we do have what is called 'Walk in the Park', when a teacher takes groups of Thirds and Lower Fourths (Years 7 and 8) out to Regent's Park every lunchtime. In the Upper Fourth, Lower Fifth and Upper Fifth (Years 9, 10 and 11), the girls are allowed out in groups of three.
