I’m thrilled this year to see so many students achieving A* or A grades and places at some of the UK’s top universities. Our ethos that all girls are taught as individuals and encouraged to follow their own path is so true today, as we see students taking up so many interesting and diverse courses. I’m beyond proud of the Class of 2026, and can’t wait to see what they achieve in the future.”
