What The Good Schools Guide says..
Interesting art (teacher is an artist) using different materials – scholarships to various boarding schools, prizes in local and regional competitions. Year 6's kit car, the Ryleys Rocket, built from recycled plastic, came third when raced – girls as involved as boys. Very strong on pastoral care ('fantastic...the form tutors are very supportive...you get a very quick response to emails and feel well looked after' – parent) and rewards – house cup comes with huge, child-friendly cake decorated with icing in house colour. Rainbow awards for a delightful range of attributes...
