On being the best...
School Bath
CHOOSING THE perfect school for your daughter is a life- forming and life-enhancing decision. It is also an important financial one, which is why the economies of scale offered by belonging to the Girls’ Day School Trust make The Royal High School Bath an affordable and reassuring option. “We have been specialists in
girls’ education for almost 150 years and we have a passionate belief in the pre-eminence of what we offer for girls and young women,” says the head, Rebecca Dougall. “I am extremely proud of
the academic standards and achievements of our girls, which are among the highest in the country, and yet our fees are among the lowest.” “We succeed because,
in striving to deliver an outstanding education, we understand that girls excel and are happiest wherever their particular learning and development needs, styles and preferences are fully and specifically addressed, free of gender- stereotyping, distraction and harassment and where choices and opportunities are unconstrained by assumptions about what girls like and can do.
“Here they have all the
choices, all the opportunities and all the support they need to become the very best that they can be.”
Canford’s ‘can-do’ Canada rugby tour
RUGBY PLAYERS from Canford School returned triumphant and exhilarated from their tour to Canada which took place during July. The squad of 23 Lower Sixth and Fifth Form
boys and six staff visited Western Canada, playing a series of matches against clubs and regional teams. The trip combined excellent
opportunities for rugby training with the chance to experience Canadian life. Mark Burley, director of sport, said: “The
standard of rugby was high and our team benefited from the variety of matches. Western Canada is exceptionally beautiful and the boys had the chance to really explore life there.”
Calder House gets amazing results
LEARNING DIFFICULTIES such as dyslexia and dyspraxia prevent many children thriving in mainstream schools and stop them fulfilling their potential. But time and time again Calder House has shown that its specialist approach can make a real difference to children with these and similar difficulties. Pupils aged between
six and 12 typically spend between two and three years at the school, which is located between Bath and Chippenham, before successfully returning to mainstream education – armed with the skills they need to thrive. All of last year’s leavers have
gone back into mainstream education while latest news
of former pupils includes one who has graduated with a first class degree in psychology with neuroscience from the University of Sussex as well as others who are now studying at Reading, Edinburgh and Southampton universities.
The Good School’s Guide
recently praised Calder House’s “amazing success rate” at returning dyslexic pupils to mainstream education. The results speak for themselves. Find out more at www.
