Health and Wellbeing

During their school life pupils will be given the skills to help them sustain lifelong learning and a successful future. We develop individuals who are confident, competent and compassionate, responsive to their environment and to the concerns and needs of others.

We pride ourselves on our all through education from Nursery right through to Sixth Form, with pupils receiving high quality pastoral care and the highest standards in education during their time here.

At BHSA we want to work in partnership with our students and their families to ensure each and every girl flourishes during and beyond her time with us, capitalising on our glorious new and refurbished site and the skill and dedication of every member of staff.
