Connaught School is a place where girls’ talents and abilities are nurtured in a safe, creative space where they can develop ambitions, creativity, leadership skills and self-determination. We are a friendly, diverse and high-achieving school with an excellent track record of helping girls to aim high and achieve excellence.

Our purpose as a school is guided by a vision of developing independent learners with high aspirations in a diverse and inclusive community. Our motto, ‘Seize the day’, is underpinned by the values of excellence, resilience and inclusion, giving a sense of direction to our school community.

The Connaught Way:

• Excellence: we foster a love of learning across our school community, developing academic potential and paving the way for future success.
• Resilience: we bravely rise to challenges, empowering ourselves and each other to be confident and active citizens.
• Inclusion: we value the diversity of our school community, celebrate our individuality and challenge inequalities.

This vision and values, developed by our whole school community, encapsulates the spirit of our school. This school is a place where learning is in the very fabric of the building, where pupils demonstrate excellent attitudes and behaviour, and where all members of our community feel a sense of belonging.

Pupils are welcomed as individuals in this small school community. They are safe here and appreciate the help they receive from staff.

Leaders have a clear vision for the success of the school. They want the very best for pupils and take effective steps to realise their expectations.

The girls are proud of their school. Every one of them is valued for their individuality and character. They feel happy, safe and supported. Each girl’s learning journey is supported by regular monitoring and dialogue with families. A comprehensive extra-curricular programme, alongside the academic curriculum, ensures that pupils have access to a range of learning opportunities, enhancing their cultural understanding and preparing them for life beyond school.

We are proud of the school’s rich history, which dates back more than a hundred years. We are also proud to be a modern, diverse and inclusive school community, which welcomes the wide variety of backgrounds and traditions that contribute to making Connaught School for Girls a wonderful place in which to learn and work. Our committed staff work hard to ensure that we provide a safe, secure and nurturing place for your child to grow and learn.

I look forward to welcoming you to our school community.
