A Word from the Head

Tormead School sets out to combine high academic standards with a wide extra-curricular programme enabling all girls to reach their potential. Girls are encouraged to aim high and to involve themselves in a range of activities. The emphasis is on enabling each individual to realize her full potential but we also place much importance on the ability to co-operate effectively and enthusiastically with others. Through the House system, as prefects and in numerous other situations, girls have opportunities for developing skills of organisation and leadership, initiative and resourcefulness.

The curriculum provides a full range of traditional subjects. Computer facilities are excellent and all the girls have lessons in IT and design technology. The new £3 million Performing Arts Centre was completed and ready for use, for both music and drama, in September 2007.

Work experience is arranged for senior girls and there are links with local and national firms through industry days and Young Enterprise companies. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and more recently, the Access scheme are both extremely popular and through them girls become involved in the local community. Exchange visits with schools in Europe are a regular part of our programme.

The expertise of a stable and committed staff generates high academic standards; we expect our girls to achieve 10 A-C grades at GCSE. Our Sixth Form is thriving and almost all the girls go on to university with Oxbridge offers averaging 11%. We are active and highly successful in sport, drama, public speaking and music.

Entry is by examination and there are Academic, Art and Music Scholarships at both 11+ and for Sixth Form entry. For Sixth Form entry, entrants are normally expected to have a minimum of nine good GCSEs with at least grade B in those subjects to be studied at AS Level. Bursaries are available in the Senior School and are dependent on the level of parental income.

Please contact us if you would like to know more. We will be pleased to show you around.
