From the The Camden School for Girls
All of the pupils at Camden School for Girls receive an outstanding education from this comprehensive institution. We are committed to making learning engaging, motivating, and fun in order to help every student attain their greatest potential. Every kid in our school has high expectations from us, and we are dedicated to helping them succeed. We also provide excellent pastoral care to ensure that students always feel supported, happy, and safe. By developing a global perspective, a social conscience, and consideration for others, we help our students find their own voices and form their own opinions. We value each and every kid, and we also urge them to value others. Our goal is to develop young adults who are mature, capable, self-assured, and prepared to move on to the next level of their education. One of the great foremothers of women's education, Frances Mary Buss, established Camden as a girls' school in 1871. As a result, the institution has a long history of supporting opportunities for girls. Girls are admitted to the main school, which has a large intake. The school admits boys and has special GCSE entry requirements for sixth form students. The school makes an effort to develop a social and physical environment where staff and students collaborate with the knowledge and support of parents/caregivers. This environment should mix security and care with challenge, stimulus, and the highest expectations. In light of societal trends, educational needs, and public policy, it is the policy of the board of governors to uphold and advance the school's ethos, history, and philosophy while also assuring its ability to adapt to and face new difficulties.
