and succeed, gaining outstanding I/GCSE results, but also leaving as confident young people ready for the world of A-Levels and beyond. St Hugh’s offers an excellent foundation for future academic pathways. We work closely with a range of top independent and maintained sixth forms to ensure that every pupil is thoughtfully guided towards the next stage of their education and they leave St Hugh’s with greater understanding of their burgeoning interests and areas of future study. Our academic programme is designed to offer a broad selection of subjects, allowing pupils to build on their strengths while exploring new interests. With expert teaching and a warm, supportive setting, we provide the kind of personalised attention that is often not possible in larger schools. It is this hybrid approach of an extended childhood and personalised pastoral and academic care that creates a compelling environment. We recognise that success takes many forms. While academic achievement is important, it must be balanced with wellbeing, confidence and a love of learning. At St Hugh’s, we foster an atmosphere where pupils are encouraged to do their best without the burden of undue pressure. While we have expectations of the number of I/GCSE s to be studied, we will always do our best to cater for individual choices or programmes of study where this is in a child’s best interests.

Here, individuality is not only respected–it is celebrated. Our close-knit community ensures that every child feels known and valued, creating a strong sense of belonging and mutual support. Learning at St Hugh’s goes far beyond the classroom. It happens on stage, in the music room, across the sports pitches, and through a wealth of co-curricular opportunities. We believe that the spirit of encouragement and collaboration empowers young people not only to achieve academically, but to develop the resilience and adaptability they will need for life. We hope this brochure will serve as a helpful introduction to the choices ahead and we warmly invite you to discuss your child’s options with us. There is no substitute for a conversation with those who know your child well. Best wishes,
