In a happy, supportive environment, girls are challenged and encouraged to develop a love of learning, self esteem and confidence. With high standards in every area of the curriculum and extra curricular field, the School facilitates and encourages the girls to strive for excellence wherever their talents may lie and to seek to expand their experiences by taking the opportunities available to them.

The girls reap the benefits of being inquisitive and using their creativity and initiative. Their achievements are applauded.  As they progress through the Senior School, their increasing maturity, enthusiasm and rich experience combine to reveal a pleasing level of responsibility and independence.

The School has excellent resources. All curriculum areas are well served with appropriate specialist accommodation in Art, Drama, Music, Media, PE, Science, Technology and Textiles.

In Years 7 to 9 the girls study a broad and balanced common curriculum comprising Science, Mathematics, English, French and (in Years 8 and 9) either German or Spanish, History, Geography, ICT, Latin, Religious Studies, Art, Drama, Music, Technology and PE.

Burgess Hill School for Girls is well known for providing a varied and extensive range of extra curricular activities, trips and opportunities.

Senior School Extra Curricular Calendar available here.

To achieve success and fulfilment in the future, each individual needs much more than purely academic accomplishment. The Life Skills programme, along with the wide range of extra curricular opportunities, addresses the development of key values and attributes.
