The Curriculum

Tormead offers a broad, innovative and stretching curriculum throughout the Prep and Senior Schoolsdesigned not just to impart subject knowledge, but to develop creativity, curiosity and a love of learning.  

Games & the Arts

Tormead Sport provides a diverse range of options which are in tune with what our girls want to be involved in today, underpinned by a sport-for-all philosophy.  The Arts are supported by well-developed Music, Drama and Art Departments.  

Pastoral Care

At Tormead, we fundamentally believe that pupils can only be successful when they are happy. That’s why pastoral care is the cornerstone of our provision as we strive to ensure that each and every pupil is supported to feel fulfilled, safe and secure within our community. Our Wellbeing team includes the Designated Safeguarding Lead, two school nurses, two school counsellors and pastoral support officer and our attendance office, all housed in our purpose-built Wellbeing Centre.
Our pastoral care has been rated excellent by inspectors, by parents and most importantly, by our girls, who thrive in the supportive environment.

University Places

The majority of girls leave Tormead to study at their first choice University. In addition, for the past 4 years, Tormead girls have won prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarships.
