Our take

Independent girls all-through school in Waverley for ages 3–18, day or boarding. Selective entry.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Parents who want a single-sex environment for their daughter.
  • Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
  • 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.
