Mathematics
Our approach, based on problem-solving and investigative methods, builds confidence and mastery. Girls relish the challenge of maths and are open to the excitement of real-life applications in the world around them.
Science
Science comes to life in our specialist lab – with an emphasis on hands-on experience – or in our grounds and wild area where we can explore patterns in nature, such as the Fibonacci sequence, and still be back in time for lunch.
Technology
Online learning blends seamlessly with hands-on activities in a mixed diet, using screen time to optimal effect.
