Hi I was wondering if parents who have girls in this school can describe the atmosphere in this school. It is the only school that says the school does not suit every girl and wanted to really understand which type of girls are in this school( . I understand the academic part). Also how diverse is it financially? Are most of the girls from super rich families etc. any advice will be fret appreciated Smile

Our daughter goes to SPGS. We all love it. There’s a real mix of backgrounds and girls. I’ll DM you.

A family member used to work there.
I would say that the school are referring to it suiting a certain character - ie. ambitious, determined, confident and thick-skinned.

I do not have a child in this school but my close friend has 2. She describes it as academically very pressured. Her girls look a bit tired out. That said, they have both done very well. One is in an Ivy league and the other acing her A levels. not sure how diverse financially. Another friend has a daughter who was there and made it to Oxford to study medicine. My friend's husband works in the City and is self made, not inherited wealth. Several parents are on that category I think.
