The focus in Upper School is upon achievement and academic excellence with an emphasis on traditional values. There are designated rooms for science, music, art, design technology and information and communication technology. Keeping class sizes small (no larger than 18) ensures that we can continue to cater for individual needs and monitor each child’s progress.

As a ‘girls only’ environment, we can focus all of our time, resources, attention and energy to the unique needs of each girl. We have the flexibility to customise teaching strategies, programs, and experiences to match the girls’ interests, challenges and learning styles for each subject.

The challenging academic programme in Upper School is broadly based on National Curriculum 2014 guidelines but is extended to meet the more rigorous requirements of the 11+ entrance examinations. Our girls benefit from a carefully balanced and well-rounded education, using specialist subject teachers whenever possible throughout the curriculum.
