The Cavendish School puts praise, encouragement and reward at the heart of developing confidence in each pupil.

An Eye On Spring

Year 6 Art
1 month ago'Her thoughts rushed through her mind like water.' Inspired by a simile studied in class, one of our Year 6 pupils created this fabulous image at home.

The enthusiasm of the teachers is amazing, but what is most impressive is the positive and confident character of the girls. A truly special place.
It's a lovely school. The girls are very happy and so are we.
We fell in love with the school the moment we set foot in it and have not been disappointed.
