From the Headmistress

Thank you for your interest in Tormead, one of the country’s leading independent day schools for girls. We are all very proud of our school and its ethos of encouraging each individual pupil to develop her talents to the full. We aim to instil in every girl a lifelong love of learning and the confidence to develop and express independent thought. Our academic expectations are high, and we value our students’ impressive record of examination successes and university places. We are equally proud of their many other cultural and sporting achievements, and of their varied contributions to the life of the wider community.

Tormead was founded in 1905 as an interdenominational school; we welcome girls of all faiths and those of none. We value individuality, celebrate diversity and encourage girls to be themselves, whilst emphasising equally the value of tolerance, teamwork and collective responsibility. We work closely with parents to enable each girl to leave Tormead at ease with herself, and ready to face with confidence the challenges of higher education and beyond.

I should like to invite you to one of our open days so that you may meet our staff and pupils, and take a tour around our facilities. If you are unable to come to an open day our Registrar will be pleased to arrange an alternative visit to the School. She can be contacted on 01483 796040.

I look forward to welcoming you and your daughter to Tormead.

Mrs Sue Marks
