Out & About

We offer frequent opportunities for organised educational and cultural visits for all our pupils. Our proximity to London’s museums, galleries and attractions is a real advantage and our pupils regularly make the most of what the capital has to offer.

We also benefit from a number of interesting annual GDST excursions which allow our girls to visit other GDST schools around the country. Regular events include the annual Maths Conference at Oxford University and the Digital Leaders’ Forum.

Our exciting programme of residential trips commences in Year 4 when pupils visit Stubbers Outdoor Education Centre for two nights. This increases to four-night trips to the Jurassic Coast (Year 5) and Northern France (Year 6). A ski and outdoor education trip is also available to Years 5 and 6.

We are very proud of our status as an all-through school for girls aged 4 to 18. It ensures we can offer an exciting and unbroken educational journey of excellence.

We believe that the extremely high transfer rate from Prep School to Senior School strongly illustrates our success and identity. That is why we are so committed to delivering a robust and thorough preparation programme for all our pupils during the summer term of year 5 and the autumn term of year 6.

Our preparation process for Senior School is supportive and positive, placing our knowledge of the individual pupil at the core. We aim to ensure every girl is wellprepared for the rigours of the Senior School examination process and develops a growth mindset, fostering resilience and confidence to deal with the transition to Senior School in a realistic and composed manner.

While achievement and performance in the 11+ process is valued and wholeheartedly encouraged, it is only one element of a broad and balanced curriculum which immeasurably prepares our girls for life in year 7 and beyond.
