Our examination results are outstanding. But then, they should be! Because we have first class staff; excellent resources; motivated, well-behaved, committed students, and the strong support of parents.

As a grammar school, we are very fortunate in that respect and, of course, any girl who attends Highsted has those benefits not only for the whole time she is at the school, but throughout her life
