The Power of Girls' Education

As an all-through girls’ school, we firmly believe in the power of a girls-only education. We specialise in tailoring the learning to the unique and specific needs of girls and young women, whilst also providing a supportive and nurturing environment for our students to believe in themselves and offering the tools to give them a head start in the next stage of their lives.

The value of our targeted learning strategies really enables girls to engage in leadership opportunities, but also offers opportunities for all students to achieve beyond their own wildest expectations. Even in subjects (where girls are often underrepresented) such as Physics, Maths or other STEM subjects, there is a higher uptake of these subjects for A Level compared to those in co-educational environments. The Girls School Association (GSA) says: "The uptake of other sciences is higher - with Biology 40% higher, Chemistry 85% higher, and Maths 88% higher in girls’ schools."

The International Coalition of Girls Schools (ICGS) reports that the students in an all-girls environment are less distracted by digital devices and are less anxious when these devices are not with them. This is only a snapshot of how a single-sex education can benefit holistic wellbeing, with reports confirming that students are more likely to feel safety and belonging within their school environments. With less pressure provided by co-educational spaces, they flourish and are empowered in their learning, making them feel comfortable to be supportive with their peers and collaborative in group settings.
