The Good Schools Guide

Every girl is an individual to us.

We’ll soon get to know her personality and preferences. Because it’s this empathy and understanding which will ensure your daughter thrives here at Withington.

Our exceptionally warm, friendly and caring environment is created by small class sizes taught by class teachers, our House system (Hunter or Williams) to encourage friendship across year groups, and the importance of outdoor playtime and PE. Not to mention mindfulness and yoga sessions to enhance wellbeing; an inspiring whole school theme (such as unity, self-control and kindness); and Upper Sixth wellbeing ambassadors as valuable mentors. Finally, our school health team is on hand if any girl is unwell.

Championing diversity, inclusivity and mutual respect, our girls value each other and enjoy a strong sense of shared purpose.

But what happens when your daughter needs a little extra help? Working closely with you, we’ll identify anything that might be impacting your daughter’s wellbeing – so we can proactively offer relevant support. At weekly staff meetings, we cover every single concern for every single pupil – whether academic or pastoral.

All adults at Withington are responsible for safeguarding and promoting child welfare.

Be reassured: your daughter’s needs will be recognised and provided for within our close-knit community.
