From the Nonsuch High School for Girls
I consider myself fortunate to be the head of a school where everyone is dedicated to excellence: kids at Nonsuch work hard to attain the outcomes they justifiably desire, and they have unquestionably strong support from faculty, staff, and parents.
All of our pupils are entirely committed to being safe at Nonsuch High School for Girls. (They hone their leadership, creative, and environmental awareness skills by participating in athletic, artistic, and fundraising endeavours.
Our curriculum is extensive and well-balanced, supporting the growth of our students' abilities in math, science, the arts, language and literature, athletics and dance, humanities, and foreign languages.
Such pupils take full advantage of all the opportunities available to them.
The demands of every student, from the absolute novice to the Oxbridge and Conservatoire performer, can be met by our music department.
At Nonsuch, sports are equally appreciated.
A full-size sport hall, a contemporary 25-meter indoor pool, astroturf fields for hockey, netball, and tennis, and sizable grounds for athletics, football, rounders, and cricket are just a few of our outstanding facilities.
Many of our students compete at the national and international levels, and the school itself has won many sports competitions at the borough, regional, and national levels.
Nonsuch girls are extremely aware of their place and duty in society.
In addition to participating in competitive fund-raising events for organisations locally, nationally, and globally, they expand their horizons by going on school travels that take them abroad, most recently to New York, China, and a number of European nations.
Nonsuch has worked to give girls the best educational opportunity possible throughout its 80-year history and in its current capacity as a member of the Girls' Learning Trust to better prepare them for their future lives.
We urge you to explore our website further to learn more about our school, of which we are extremely proud.
As we work together to help your daughter and make sure she thrives, I hope that current parents and carers will find it to be a useful tool for communication and information that supplements other points of contact.
