A wonderful school for girls who want to thrive both academically and personally in a safe environment.

The Details

Academics:

The school offers GCSEs and A-Levels.

Cobham Hall School achieves consistently good academic results. In 2023, its GCSE results yielded 43% 9-7 grades and its A-Levels 24% A*/A grades. Given that Cobham Hall is non-selective this is a considerable achievement.

French, Spanish, German and Latin offered at GCSE and A level.

Sciences and maths popular and diverse choice of subjects including computer science and film studies on offer.

Boarding:

50% of pupils board. Integration between boarders and day pupils is excellent.

Boarding facilities are cozy and up-to-date. Girls share rooms with one other and rotate on a termly basis.
Week-end outings to central London are regular, but activities like a cookery club are provided for those staying at school.

Exeat weekends exist but are not compulsory.

Strengths:

Cobham Hall School is unlike other good girls schools, where the academic focus can feel a little hot-housey at times. The school is academic but not overly so. The Round Square ethos ensures a broader focus on learning both inside and outside the classroom.

The creative pursuits are strong here, especially art and music. We saw some amazing photography, ceramics and oil paintings last time we visited.

Cobham Hall School has an amazing, warm, inclusive community spirit. Whether self-confident or shy, whether extrovert or introvert, all girls are accepted and welcomed.

Weaknesses:

The close proximity to London makes Cobham Hall a popular choice with rich London families. It has been known that pupils on occasion flaunt their wealth at school.
