Introduction

 

Tormead School is an independent day school for girls in Guildford, Surrey. Founded in 1905, it features an impressive number of spacious facilities. [1]

 

Tormead’s rigorous academic and non-academic provision stretches students’ abilities in parallel with their understanding of the world. The curriculum encompasses English, MFL, classics, mathematics, science, humanities, DT, PE and computer science, offering a broad education which allows girls to pursue specific academic goals with confidence. [2]

 

In terms of extracurriculars, the school is invested in developing pupils’ leadership skills and their understanding of their own and other cultures through regular DofE trips and expeditions. Everything from chess and knitting to Lamda and the KYTOS Programme is on offer, allowing girls to explore their individual interests and talents alongside their capacity for all-round growth. [3]

 

According to the latest ISI report, a ‘have a go’ mentality and a strong sense of righteousness pervade the school’s diverse community. Girls manifest social awareness in their interactions and confidence in their achievements, accessing further education as articulate young women with an exemplary attitude to learning. [4]
