Our take
Independent girls all-through school in Surrey for ages 3–18, day or boarding. Selective entry.
- 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.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
- 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.
