Our take

Independent girls senior school in Southwark for ages 11–16. Non-selective intake.

Best for
Who thrives here
  • Families seeking a senior school for ages 11–16, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
Know before applying
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • Single-sex (girls). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
