The school is made up of three sections: Early Years for children aged 3 to 5 years, pre-prep for pupils aged 5 to 7 years, and prep for pupils aged 7 to 13 years. It aims to provide a high-quality education in a stimulating environment where all learners are valued, respected and supported, fostering a sense of security and belonging through high expectations academically, socially, and emotionally. Pupils come from families with a range of professional and business backgrounds, covering a broad, multi-cultural demographic living within a ten-mile radius of the school. The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and provides additional help for those who speak English as an additional language. The curriculum is also adapted for the most able pupils within the school population.

Girls are not permitted to bring mobile phones to school. If they need to contact their parents for any reason, they are able to call from the school office.
