Our 3 daughters attended this fine school over 17 years. They fully embraced all aspects of school life. Supported brilliantly through the very few wobbles any of them had. Academic achievements have been outstanding but they were all 3 emerged in so many other fields - 5 or 6 sports, drama, music, D of E, but most of all they came away with so many lifetime friendships. With Mr And Mrs Forster, the many teachers and house mistresses and other support staff. But also with dozens of their peers and comtempories a lot of who have gravitated to London to work thereby making their working careers there less daunting. Friends for life, picking up where they left off even with those they lose touch with in all parts of the Globe. We feel very lucky to have experienced the 'people' quality of this school as well as achieving balance of all roundedness and great respect&compassion for others. Total Score : 97.3% ! BIG THANKS to them , RW-S
