For more information, please see our Pupil IT Policy on the School policies page .

Question 6

How do Junior School pupils travel to school?

Accepted Answer

Junior School has a very efficient "drop off" arrangement outside school from 07:45 where staff and pupils are waiting to greet younger girls as they arrive so that you can simply drive through without needing to park. There is a similar system in place for pick up.

Question 7

Do you run extra-curricular clubs and activities?

Accepted Answer

There are a huge number of extra-curricular clubs and activities offered in the Junior School. Activities take place before school, during the lunch break or after school. Please see our Enrichment page for more information.

Question 8

How much homework will my daughter be set each day?

Accepted Answer

Homework in the Junior School is very limited and when it is set, we endeavour to make it valuable for the girls, as well as flexible to fit around other activities the girls undertake. We prioritise 'core' homework which includes reading, spellings and times tables. All girls are expected to read at home regularly. There is no homework set during holidays.
