What The Good Schools Guide says..

We loved the way the bigger girls supported the littler ones: at the end of our visit, they were snuggled up on beanbags looking at books with year 6s.

Headmistress

Since 2010, Ms Emma Davies BA PGCE (40s). Brought up and educated in Wales (where she still lives) and maintaining her Welsh lilt to this day, Mrs Davies has taught in a variety of prep schools including one in Malaysia, most recently as deputy head at the junior part of Bristol Grammar.
