About us
Staff, Governors and Trustees
Our specialist staff are dedicated, inspirational and they love their work. Relationships between the staff and girls are supportive, proactive and warm. We pride ourselves on managing the balance between offering challenge and supporting each girl to be the best version of herself that she can be.
Staff are supported by a Senior Leadership Team (SLT) whose work is overseen by the Headmistress.
As a part of the GDST, the school’s performance is also overseen by the Directors and CEO of the Trust.
Our local Governors offer guidance, advice and a critical oversight, bringing expertise from their varied areas of specialism. We are extremely fortunate to benefit from the support of such a committed and capable team.
