Louise Martin Headteacher

Girls are encouraged to be inquisitive, to question, to have their say,

to take risks and be the best they can be.

Through small class sizes, a stimulating academic curriculum, specialised teachers and facilities we challenge and encourage all Stormont girls. Many subjects are taught by specialist teachers in groups of 12 or less, resulting in a high ratio of adults to children.

“Stormont came across as the perfect balance of academic and nurturing.”
