Being fearless comes as standard in a school where the great outdoors (all 27 acres of it) is right on the doorstep.


Our girls are living proof of the saying that ‘there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.’ Whether it is growing sunflowers in the garden for Reception or kayaking at Osmington Bay on the Year 6 residential, the joy of exploring the world outdoors and pushing your boundaries through physical challenge is a large part of school life.
