Things to note

  • From their very first year at NGHS, the girls perform in state of the art performing arts centre, The Space. By the time they leave school, standing in front of an audience is second nature.
  • In Infant and Junior School, 95% of the girls play an instrument. The Da Capo Music Programme for Reception to Year 2 enables girls to trial lessons across a range of instruments.
  • Sports clubs are open to all girls, regardless of ability, and they employ visiting coaches in hockey, netball, football and gymnastics to help PE staff which in turn ensures girls can reach their full potential. 
  • Taking part in outdoor activities helps build character, stamina and resilience, while promoting leadership and teamwork skills – it’s also a lot of fun!
  • From ballet to dissection, they have a huge and diverse number of clubs on offer at lunch time and after school.
