You’ll discover more about:
They are focused on providing the very best education for our girls. They inspire girls through stimulating lessons, vibrant activities, creative resources and a continual focus on our RECIPE for success – resilience, empathy, creativity, initiative, positivity and excellence.
Our teaching techniques
The cutting edge of modern teaching methods. Our expertise in educating girls means we know how to make sure each and every girl is achieving her potential in the best possible environment for her.
For Years 1 to 6 the girls learn from a bespoke mastery curriculum. It follows the principles of the National Curriculum with the exciting additions of deeper learning, empowering girls and providing opportunities to connect with local and international communities.
In Reception, Years 1 and 2, girls are taught by their class teacher in small class sizes, and they start enjoying specialist teaching for Sport, Computer Science and Music. From Year 3 to 6, girls continue to follow our bespoke mastery curriculum, alongside developing independence and leadership skills.
Our many and varied enrichment opportunities
To support pupils’ academic learning, our enrichment (extracurricular) timetable is brimming with opportunities. Our clubs and activities ensure that the girls’ love of learning is really brought to life. They can learn chess and Mandarin, take part in cricket, judo and tag rugby, join the choir or one of several orchestras and bands, and keep developing their skills through Maths, Speech and Drama and Book club.
By providing unique and stretching clubs before school, during break and lunch times and after school, we ensure that all of our pupils find something they love. By inspiring them to take their passions outside of the classroom, we enable them to truly excel in all that they do.
Our RECIPE for success
Our recipe encompasses six key ingredients which bring life-long academic and personal success for our Junior girls through empowering values and attitudes. Resilience, Empathy, Creativity, Initiative, Positivity and Excellence are the qualities we inspire in our girls every day, and they do us proud with the way they embrace these important traits throughout their school lives.
We have the best team possible here at NGHS to support and care for our girls. All our Teachers and Teaching Assistants know each and every girl personally, and all of our staff are trained in matters concerning health, safety and wellbeing. This ensures that all girls receive excellent care and our whole school community remains healthy and well looked after.
Designed to deliver the best possible education to girls, they are hugely inspiring, bringing out the best in every single girl.
