Local parents who by-pass this place for their daughters say they imagine it to be a bit precious, girly and old-fashioned. Certainly the sight of pupils neatly turned out in their uber-cute cherry-red tartan uniforms, topped off by blazers and boaters (of which more later) does nothing to assuage this impression.

Entrance

Non-selective throughout, save a very low key assessment for girls joining the prep at 7+. The nursery takes from age 2 and these girls get priority for joining kindergarten - other places on first-come-first-served basis, usually from local nurseries. Then automatic transfer from kindergarten to pre-prep at 4+ and to prep department at 7+. Usually also a small outside intake at 7+ (around a dozen). Feeders at 7+ include Emberhurst, Glenesk, Weston Green, Shrewsbury Lodge, Denmead, Jack & Jill and Thames Ditton Infants. Draws from the up-market local area of Claygate, Esher, Surbiton, Wimbledon, Molesey, Walton, Weybridge, Cobham, Epsom...

Special Education Needs

Rowan has part-time learning support for girls with mild learning difficulties. The Learning Support Coordinator works with parents and teachers to ensure that appropriate provision is in place for pupils who are making inadequate progress. All girls are screened for literacy and numeracy difficulties at the end of year one. Additional support is offered, as appropriate. External formal assessment is recommended where there may be a barrier to effective learning. Tuition with a specialist tutor is available through arrangement with parents. Most individual tuition takes place during curriculum time on site and is parent funded. 10-09
