During their time in the Upper School the girls are studying for their GCSE examinations. The options for GCSE are based on what the girls are interested in studying and as a result the majority of girls are able to take up their first choice of subjects. Time is allocated to careers, A Level choice and revision skills through PSHE. There is also the opportunity for girls to attend University open days aimed at their age group and we also host an Oxbridge dinner for those students thinking of pursuing this path after their A Levels. Girls in the Upper School are offered the opportunity to participate in an exchange with Ruyton School in Melbourne, Australia.

Upper School girls enjoy a number of extra-curricular and social activities throughout the year:

* The Upper School Forum meets with the Head of Year regularly to discuss issues specific
  to them.

* Girls can start their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh and might start Silver before completing
  this in the sixth form and going onto Gold.

* As part of Upper School PE many girls have the opportunity to become part of the Junior
  Sports Leadership Award which gives them the opportunity to develop their skills by
  teaching and umpiring in prep schools.

* Upper School girls are involved in our Peer Mentoring Scheme.

* Girls can also be involved in Rotary Youth Interact, working with students
  from other local schools.

* The Upper School has strong social links with Moor House.
