Activities
There are many organised activities to keep girls busy during their down-time including craft sessions, dance and cookery classes, and regular trips are to places of interest, such as the London Fashion Museum or the Harry Potter Film Studios. Punting, bowling, the cinema and theatre trips are always firm favourites.
Many of our wider school facilities such as the Art and Photography Centre, Music and Textiles rooms, badminton and tennis courts are available to boarders. Girls also enjoy complimentary use of a near-by fitness centre and free entrance to the Cambridge University Botanic Garden.
In between all the excitement and bustle boarding life, girls are encouraged to make time to stay in touch with family and friends.
