Introduction

 

The Royal Masonic School for Girls is an independent day and boarding school in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. Established in 1788, the school initially educated the daughters of indigent Freemasons. In 1978, it began admitting the daughters of non-freemasons but kept the name “Masonic” as a reference to its past and tradition. [1]

 

In the Prep School, also known as Cadogan House, the curriculum covers English, maths, science, art, DT, computing, MFL, humanities, RS, PE, music, drama and life skills (PSHCE). ‘Life skills’ is taught with the aim of promoting spiritual, moral and social values amongst girls, actively preparing them for adulthood.

 

The wealth of extracurricular activities is supplemented by a diverse programme of day and residential trips which boost girls’ skills and academic potential in line with the current syllabus. Aside from discovering new interests during these trips, girls are empowered to apply their knowledge beyond the limitations of their usual environment and get their first taste of independence.

 

Cadogan House owns extensive grounds that allow staff to successfully combine traditional classroom teaching with outdoor education. The outstanding facilities on offer further complement the learning experience, enabling girls to mature into well rounded, skilled and independent young women.
