Message from the Head At a time when everything around us is changing and uncertainty prevails, I could not be prouder to say that I am the Headmistress of MTGS. The resourcefulness of staff and pupils, the ability of everyone within School to adapt and think outside the box and warmth of the community all serve to ensure that we remain a truly great School. All the girls and staff are encouraged to make the most of the opportunities they have to learn and to lead. We want the curriculum we deliver to be engaging and to enable the girls to go on a journey of discovery. When the
girls are facing challenges and change, we want them to act with integrity, courage and demonstrate strong leadership. The current pandemic has shown that we need to ensure that the girls have a global prospective on a myriad of issues and that they appreciate how technological change can be transformational in their lives and that there are positives that can arise out of a crisis. We want them to develop as confident young women who are equipped with the contemporary skills and the guiding values which they will need to shape their future and enable them to operate successfully in their professional lives.
MTGS is innovative in its approach to education and is well positioned to ensure that the education that we provide is relevant to today’s world. The girls are at the centre of everything that we do. We encourage them develop a lively mind, give service to others, be cheerful in spirit, be independent and practical in the way they approach life. The many achievements of the girls are both a testament to our philosophy and to just how amazing the girls are. Every single girl is a credit to themselves, the School and to you as parents.

Jane Hall
Master of the Merchant Taylors’ Company, Jane Hall Jane Hall worked as an Assistant Director in the film industry on movies such as Highlander and Peter Ustinov’s Poirot adaptation Thirteen at Dinner. She met her husband Christopher, a producer, while working on a Diet Coke commercial with the London Symphony Orchestra. With the arrival of her two sons Freddie and Ben (both now working in the Arts) she left film and moved into the world of furniture conservation and restoration where her expertise in gilding, lacquer and decorative furniture became much sought after by antique dealers, interior designers and City institutions. One of the high points of her career has been her involvement in the restoration of Windsor Castle after the fire.
For the last ten years, following in her mother’s footsteps, she has concurrently run a 1,000 acre arable farm in Hampshire, renovated and decorated farm buildings and run a successful pheasant shoot. Her interests, apart from her family, include fishing, theatre and opera. She joined the Merchant Taylors’ Company as an Apprentice, becoming a Liveryman in 1997. She was elected onto the Court in 2007 as the first woman since the Royal Charter of 1503.
Merchant Taylors’ Girls School is most grateful to the Merchant Taylors’ Company, the PTA, the OGA and all contributors for their generous donations of prizes and monies. Their continuing support enables us to reward excellence and to encourage the development of individual talent.
