Why Co-education?Championing co-education since our founding in 1894, we have created a diverse and supportive environment that reflects real-world communities and workplaces. |
Preparing Pupils for the Future
We believe co-education is the best way to prepare pupils for modern life.
Our pupils are prepared for life in a society not segregated by gender, where individuality and differences are seen as valuable strengths. We work to develop a dynamic mindset and an agility of thought in our pupils, so they can stay flexible in an everchanging world.
Challenging Sexism and Promoting Gender Equality
As a co-educational school, our pupils enjoy and participate in a broad range of subjects, sports and co-curricular activities which gives boys and girls lots of opportunities to socialise and work together.
By learning together, pupils collaborate and celebrate their differences as well as their similarities, helping them to thrive in later life. Working together they learn to respect and appreciate different perspectives and qualitities, while challenging the misconception that boys or girls are better in certain areas.
Building Confidence and Social Skills
Our pupils make friends easily and build friendships for life.
They work together in mixed groups as well as playing sports in same-sex groups, resulting in a diverse experience, where opinions are explored and challenged, and social skills are mastered.
