Northwood College

Northwood College is an academic school for girls with two very special features at its heart. Our unique ‘Thinking Skills’ programme enables girls to develop independent and creative thinking that takes them far beyond an exam curriculum. Our unrivalled pastoral care, meanwhile, rests on the premise that a happy girl will always achieve her best. In this way we have created a school that buzzes with life, in which girls achieve outstanding results.

The ‘Thinking Skills’ programme is integrated into the whole curriculum and runs from Nursery up to the Sixth Form. The programme teaches the girls to understand and develop the way they learn. Over the years, they build up their reasoning skills, improve their creativity and acquire strategies for tackling complex problems and decisions. It gives the girls a life skill that will be as useful at university and in the workplace as it is now.

We take the challenge of turning out happy, confident and generous young women very seriously. Northwood College creates an atmosphere in which courtesy, respect and self-respect thrive. Girls are taught to understand and respect the other person’s point of view and to show good manners at all times. In keeping with this ethos, the College operates a system of Credits and Commendations from the Head Mistress to reward good behaviour and attitude, as well as work. We enjoy showing parents and girls around Northwood College. On a tour you can see our lovely site and above all, you can experience the atmosphere and see for yourself how our girls and teachers work together and bring learning to life.
