Gifted and Talented
As a school we have been awarded the NACE (National Association for Able Children in Education) Challenge Award in recognition of our excellence in provision for Gifted and Talented students.
The Junior School buzzes with enrichment opportunities for our Gifted and Talented girls. In the classroom, there are problem-solving activities, like Brain Academy, which challenge the girls' logical and mathematical thinking plus workshops, visits, visitors and culture days to enhance the girls' learning experience. An extensive extra-curricular programme takes place during lunchtimes and after school with language clubs covering French, German, Latin and Chinese; music clubs including four choirs and an orchestra; sports clubs ranging from Hi Five to cross-country plus many, many more. In addition, we actively seek to develop the girls' social and emotional intelligence by providing opportunities to promote responsibility, independence, initiative and leadership through roles such as Buddies, house captains and in our School and Eco-councils.
Learning Support
Learning Support is offered to pupils with specific needs, such as dyslexia, and to girls who require additional, individually tailored input to enable them to reach their full academic potential. Learning Support is offered in the form of small group work and we are also able to arrange private lessons with a specialist teacher. Pupils are encouraged to develop their study skills further through our extensive PSHE and pastoral programmes.
