A few questions about Camden School for Girls

I'm hoping maybe there are some current CSG parents on here? I have a few questions, but don't know anyone with a child there. We had thought it was a long shot for DD to get in, but now I think she may have a chance.

  • I was wondering if, when, and for what subjects that the girls are put in sets? I couldn't find anything on the website about it. I also emailed the admissions team a few weeks ago but never heard back.
  • What is the phone policy/general phone usage amongst the girls? Do all girls have smart phones and are active on social media? Think we'll need to get DD a phone for the commute, but don't really want her to be on it much outside this.
  • How are the girls in general? I like the idea of DD at a girls' school, but she's going through some friend drama at the moment, which reminds me that girls aren't always the best to each other!

When we visited, DD wasn't really a fan, but I think that came down to a tour guide who didn't speak or engage in any way and things being a bit chaotic on the night. Any thoughts on the above or anything else would be appreciated!

Most schools will have these things buried in their policies section and/or parent/student/school handbook. A quick look on the CSG website throws up the behaviour for learning policy - p7 for mobile phones https://www.camdengirls.camden.sch.uk/page/?title=Policies&pid=71

Yes, you're right I probably could have found the phone policy, so thanks for that. Still looking for the rest of the first-hand knowledge though!
