FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Welcome to Sir Jonathan North Girls’ College. Whether you are a potential student or parent, I hope to provide you with some useful information to help inform your next step in your education. We are an outstanding 11-16 girls’ school that is inclusive, friendly and enriched by the diverse community that we serve.

At Sir Jonathan North our simple aim is to ‘create good people’. In order to do this we need a curriculum that provides both academic excellence and holistic development. In other words, we take every opportunity to develop the ‘whole child’.

Parents and carers often ask me why they should send their daughter to a girls’ school. At Sir Jonathan North, girls learn without limits and take centre stage. Through a culture of nurture, support and mutual respect, we seek to challenge our girls by encouraging them to take risks, explore new ideas and acknowledge that making mistakes is essential for learning. We focus on helping our girls to become resilient students and develop the skills and character to prepare them for the future.

Over their five-year journey they will learn to be confident, strong, independent and resourceful young women. We place a strong emphasis on the STEM subjects and have an excellent success rate for progression to A-level and Higher Education in traditionally male-dominated subjects. We promote strong female role models and challenge stereotypes wherever possible.

We offer a wide range of sports and our many teams regularly compete regionally and even nationally. We offer extra-curricular sports clubs every day of the week, and our high rates of sport participation bucks the national trend for girls.

I hope that as you read our prospectus, our vision for our students becomes clear and you feel excited for your journey with us.
