    We are proud of our girls and of their contribution to school and beyond. Ascham presents each girl with personal challenges so she can seek to explore her potential and begin to become all she hoped for – and more. The school believes passionately in the education of young women and works in partnership with parents, staff and Old Girls to create a nurturing and exciting atmosphere in which each girl can grow. We seek to build resilience by helping each girl develop the confidence to stretch herself and stumble. We believe that self-confidence comes from effort leading to real achievement, and that learning to bounce back from setbacks is an integral part of this process.

The school is well-resourced with excellent facilities and IT support, and offers opportunities for professional development and growth. Staff also value the excellent location with good transport connections and flexible work hours.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as the fast-paced and busy environment with multiple concurrent projects to manage.
