Flexible Term Options

To maximise the benefits and help girls develop a strong grasp of the English language, settle into our boarding community and form lasting friendships, we recommend a minimum stay of one academic year. However, if this timescale is not possible due to current schooling commitments, we will consider a limited number of applications for shorter durations of one or two terms.

Your daughter will benefit from engaging in the full curriculum, including music, performing arts, sports, and a variety of co-curricular activities, including Saturday school enrichment, sports matches and weekend boarding activities.

The fees cover all tuition, food, and accommodation (excluding extras as outlined on the fees page).

International Boarding

Boarding accommodation is tailored to the age of each pupil, with dormitories typically accommodating six to eight girls in the younger year groups and two to six in the older years.

We try to ensure that overseas girls of the same nationality do not share a dorm, allowing them to fully experience a truly British boarding environment.
