maximum possible score of 45 in their International Baccalaureate examinations, which is achieved by less than 1% of students globally. From 2020, all students entering the school's Sixth Form study the IB. A Levels are no longer offered. This change has neither been popular with parents nor students. The Sixth Form intake fell from 147 in 2019 to 105 in 2020, with only 46% of the school’s Year 11 girls opting to stay on rather than to transfer to another sixth-form. In the years preceding this change, A Levels had a significantly higher uptake by students than the IB. Sixth Form In 1999 a new sixth form block, the Peggy Saxby Suite, was opened, with a large common room, a silent study area and several classrooms. This has been changed in the last few years and the common room is now home to a very large silent study hall; the Independent Learning Centre (ILC). The ILC has many computers and desks for students to use during study periods and a teacher is present during lesson times to ensure the room stays silent.

The House with the most points at the end of the day wins a trophy and gains points towards the House Cup. Music The school is
