Welcome to Senior School

“When pupils make mistakes, they support each other kindly. This atmosphere allows pupils to take risks in their learning, which supports them to make good progress.”
ISI report, 2024
We teach our girls to be fearless learners. They learn self-reliance, resourcefulness and collaboration. They embrace risk, developing the resilience and confidence to excel in a volatile, fast-changing world.

“When pupils make mistakes, they support each other kindly. This atmosphere allows pupils to take risks in their learning, which supports them to make good progress.”

We believe that all members of the school should be inspired to outperform expectations on a daily basis. The pursuit of excellence is thus a defining feature of our Senior school. This is reflected in our examination results, which place us in the top tier of independent schools nationally.

 

We nurture our girls to attain success across the widest spectrum of activity, extending far beyond the conventional ‘academic’ horizon. Girls are encouraged to try new subjects, taking a broad-minded view of learning, and as our girls advance, they enjoy progressively more independence throughout their secondary education at SCHS. We support them in feeling confident in their own choices and teach them the skills they need for a constantly changing world.

 

Throughout their education, SCHS girls benefit from subject-specialist teachers and the experts who teach them fundamental study skills whilst capturing their imaginations.

We nurture excellence in an inspiring, vibrant and supportive community where friendships flourish and kindness matters. Our family ethos means that we know and value every pupil as an individual – we are a family not a factory, and we proudly celebrate our community’s diversity as a local school, drawing strength from our rich social and cultural mix.
