We do not charge for any of our SEN/Learning Empowerment services. Our team are highly trained and include qualified SENCOs, specialist teachers, assessors, ELSAs, teaching assistants and our therapy dog, Woody. This enables us to use a range of cognitive ability tests and screeners to better inform classroom support and any interventions for pupils with SEND. We strongly believe that our pupils should access the main curriculum with their peers as much as possible. For a more targeted approach, timetabled group lessons may also take place in The Hub. Our aim with all intervention is to build pupils’ skills to promote increasing independence as they move through the school. 3-16, Co-educational 751 Day

About the School
Pipers Corner School is an independent day school for girls aged from 4 to 18 years, set in 96 acres of beautiful Chiltern Hills countryside.
We believe that education is about the development of the whole person – and stretches far beyond the traditional curriculum. We support the students in a caring and compassionate environment, to fulfil their academic and personal potential, enabling them to emerge as mature, confident, and independent young people
There is no typical ‘Pipers’ student, we aim to know each student as an individual and identify, develop and support her talents and strengths. Students are supported by an incredibly passionate and dedicated body of teachers who make it their mission to ensure that everything the students do, in and out of the classroom, adds value to their educational experience and drives forward a love of learning that takes them beyond life at Pipers

About the School
St George's is a thriving independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11-18 offering an ambitious, connected and future-facing education tailored for girls to realise their potential both at school and in fulfilling adult lives ahead.
The St George's ethos, and education, focuses on developing Confident, Capable and Connected young women who are thoroughly prepared for the world beyond school. Learning in an all-girls environment fosters confidence as girls are emboldened to innovate, lead and express informed views free from gender stereotypes They are, as a recent Head Girl explained, at 'the centre of their own story' throughout their time at the school.
Pupils enjoy facilities that 'might easily belong to a school three times the size' (2023 Good Schools Guide review), with four art studios, a state of the art six-lane swimming pool, a 300-seat theatre, a Cookery & Food Technology room, and new music recording studio Yet the school is small enough to develop markedly strong relationships across the community Each pupil is known and supported by a close network of boarding, teaching and pastoral staff who help shape and develop each individual. Examination results are excellent with regular Oxbridge success, a high percentage attending Russell Group universities in both the sciences and humanities and a strong number of girls choosing post-18 options in the Arts in courses ranging from visual effects, fine art, textiles and fashion to photography. A recent value-added figure for the school at GCSE placed St George's 7th out of 344 schools.
