Message from the Headteacher

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope that you find it a useful resource whether you are a prospective parent, a student, member of staff or a member of our community. We aim to publish the things that the members of our school think are important and hope that this will help our students to achieve the best that they can.

It is my pleasure to lead and work with exceptional staff at Connaught School for Girls to offer our students the best education possible. We have a very strong ethos where students are encouraged to acheive their potential in our friendly school community that has high levels of care and support. Our school aims to foster:

• a sense of mutual respect

• a facility for self discipline

• a sense of responsibility for others and the environment

• self-confidence

• a sense of achievement

• positive attitudes to all racial groups

• positive attitudes to the achievement of women

• the best possible level of achievement

• a desire for further education

We do have high standards and expectations; our examination and test results speak for themselves but we are also very proud of our students' achievements in many other areas such as art, music, drama and sports. We aim to work with parents, staff and the community to encourage our students to become confident, assertive young women who will play a full part in society whether locally, nationally or on a global scale.

We expect that our students will take advantage of all the opportunities that Connaught will offer in their five years. Our school motto is 'Seize the Day' and our logo is a soaring bird, illustrating that we believe that their should be no boundaries to our students' aspirations.

We hope to keep you up to date with further achievements and developments of our school through our website. We do hope you enjoy finding out about our school and that you save our website as one of your 'favourites' and come back to visit it often.

Yours sincerely

Ann Betts
