The school has a long tradition of academic excellence, and this is reflected in the exam results which our girls achieve each year at GCSE and A Level. However, we also aim as a school to develop our students' potential in other areas, and to ensure that they are well prepared in every way for the world beyond school.

Here is a summary of our 2009 GCSE and A Level Results, along with a national comparison.
