A Word from the Head

Click here to view a larger photo
St Gabriel’s School is situated on the A34 two miles south of Newbury and occupies a beautiful grade one listed building in 54 acres of grounds landscaped by Capability Brown. An established, vibrant and cohesive day school community, St Gabriel’s combines traditional Christian values and strong pastoral care with a progressive, ‘real world’ attitude within a safe, happy and supportive environment.

Visitors to St Gabriel’s quickly recognise that it is no ordinary school. Offering the opportunity for a seamless, natural progression from Nursery through to Sixth Form, parents are impressed by the enthusiasm and sense of purpose of both the caring staff and the pupils. Consequently, girls experience exceptionally high achievements in many spheres of school life and have the opportunity, resources, and confidence to exploit fully their natural individual potential, whether it be in the classroom, in the concert hall, on stage, on canvas or on the sports field.

With an ethos of mutual trust and respect between girls and their teachers it is hardly surprising that the Independent Schools’ Inspectorate commented that

‘Throughout the School the high quality of pupils’ learning and behaviour contributes strongly to the high standards achieved.’

This year girls attained 83% of their A level results at grades A or B whilst at GCSE, the girls enjoyed over 98% of their grades at A*-C. National Curriculum results at all Key stages are invariably well above national expectations.

St Gabriel’s has benefited from considerable investment over the last four years and continues to enhance its facilities. Both the Junior and Senior Schools have a wireless network enabling girls to enjoy a highly flexible ICT provision. Our new state of the art Sports Hall is now in full use and provides a suitable venue for our Annual Dance Show.

I believe St Gabriel’s offers the difference between a future and a brighter future for your daughter. Please come and visit us and see how we really do prepare girls to meet the demands of a modern changing world.
