Our Year 13 students have excelled themselves with the school’s best A Level results since 2017 (excluding the Covid years). A quarter of the girls gained all A*s and As with 42% of all grades at A* – A, up from 33% last year.
We are delighted to celebrate our incredible outgoing Head Girl for receiving the prestigious Mo Bosch scholarship. This GDST award is aimed at Year 13 students planning to pursue degrees in journalism, media, or communications at university and it has a focus on women in leadership and education.
I hope that the girls have been having a super time in Activities Week enjoying a different kind of learning as part of our commitment to a holistic educational vision. Whether taking on new physical challenges and risks, working as a team, learning from the battlefields of Normandy, experiencing the world of work, or preparing a compelling university application, this week will have accelerated the girls’ sense of their identity now and who they want to become.
