  • “Through the character education lessons and strong ethos that continually underpins the school’s approach, we watched our daughter grow in confidence and learn the values that will stay with her for life. The pastoral system works superbly as a channel between parents and the school.”

  • “My daughter’s tutor and other teachers always responded to our concerns thoughtfully and openly, seeking to resolve our anxieties rather than defend a position. The Laurels is a small school with a huge heart, punching far above its weight in the opportunities it offers and the support it provides.” Laurels Parent

THE LAURELS DIFFERENCE


THE LAURELS DIFFERENCE


The Laurels aims to develop the whole child, in close partnership with parents, through a deeply embedded character programme grounded in Catholic principles, which will enable each girl to fulfil her potential through acquiring virtues in a climate that balances freedom with responsibility.


Our aim is for your daughter to achieve academic excellence and to forge a compass for life.


We do this through:


  • A culture of excellence
  • An environment promoting a lifelong passion for learning.
  • A pedagogy of virtue enabling each student to make wise choices for herself.
  • A tutorial system aimed at bringing out the best in each person.
  • A strong and close relationship with parents.

The Arete Programme at Laurels aims to help pupils achieve happiness through excellence by providing personalised support for both their academic studies as well as their social lives. Pupils have the opportunity to bring together different parts of what they have learnt in order to be the best that they can possibly be.

As well as a rich and vibrant cultural, academic and social experience, VI Formers at The Laurels are encouraged to acquire intellectual and character virtues. They are helped to become women of reflection and action, who know themselves and can reach out to others.


A Laurels VI Former builds a life compass that empowers her to set a vision, chart a course and navigate challenges.

Students leave The Laurels VI Form equipped to thrive in any setting.
