The school is in 14 acres of attractive grounds off the A11, near Norwich with easy access by road, rail or air. Boarders live in the main house and in the new VIth form house, cared for by the Headmistress and house staff team. 50% of the boarders have single or double study bedrooms in a happy, homely, family atmosphere.
The Junior Department, providing direct entry into the main school, emphasizes a thorough grounding in basic subjects, with first-class opportunities for creative work, music, drama and sport.
The Senior School girls are prepared for GCSE, A levels, University and Oxbridge Entrance and other public examinations. A high proportion of the sixth formers gain entry to higher education courses in universities and colleges. One-year VIth form courses, preparing for vocational training, include Business Studies, Information Technology and Community Care courses, and may include relevant practical experience.
Teaching groups are small. Well-qualified staff enable girls to reach their potential in a wide range of arts, sciences, languages and creative subjects. First-class specialist teaching facilities have been added through a major building programme. Excellent facilities include an indoor heated pool, a fully equipped sports hall, the Wolfson science laboratories, Art Studios, Design and Technology Centre.
All girls are offered a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
In a friendly but orderly environment, each girl can develop her personality and is encouraged to become self-reliant, adaptable, tolerant and concerned for others.
