“Time has flown and we can’t believe Matilda is about to finish Sixth Form. We are so pleased we chose NGHS for Matilda’s entire education, she has benefitted from the school’s very balanced approach to education. She has flourished academically without pressure and developed a range of skills that will stand her in good stead in the future. Above all, she has developed into a kind and thoughtful young lady with good values. We are grateful for all of these things.”
Dr A, Year 13 Parent.
