What The Good Schools Guide says..

Wide variety of clubs, and after-school care provides an opportunity for girls to do their homework as well as have fun. (‘They have a register to make sure you don't wander off,’ said one of our tour guides, earnestly.) Sports and gymnastics are strong, and music likewise, with the Y6s doing a Prep Opera every year.
