In Year 7 we begin the CG experience, the transformational journey to success

by discovering the individual talents of our students through our Year 7 curriculum, which includes our newly established Leadership Programme. Students are supported from early beginnings to successfully engage with all the challenges and opportunities that life at CG will offer. We recognise the substantial social and emotional pressures that are placed on young women today, and our priority and commitment is to ensure that our students develop healthy inquisitive minds, and that academic success is achieved within a nurturing environment. Come and see for yourself the rich and motivating learning opportunities in action, the enthusiasm of our teachers and students, and listen to the conversations and discussions of our young women first hand. CG is the place to be – it is an excellent choice for the future. We look forward to welcoming you to the academy. Wendy Walters BA (Hons) MA Principal
