Tudor Hall

Word From The Head

Julie Lodrick

I am often asked what makes Tudor special and, for me, the school’s motto, Habeo ut dem (I have that I may give), perfectly encapsulates what sets Tudor, and Tudorians, apart. Habeo ut dem is part of the rich history and fabric of Tudor, part of our community, our shared heritage and identity.

We all ‘have’ something: some girls may have a gift for languages, an aptitude for maths, a talent for writing, or a flair for science; some may be expert equestrians, aspiring artists, marvellous musicians, accomplished athletes, or dedicated dramatists; and every girl has personal qualities which make them unique - they may be a great team player, a fantastic listener, a strong leader, a creative thinker, a calming influence, a problem-solver, kind and caring, level-headed and analytical. Giving our pupils a wide variety of opportunities to help identify what it is they have, and supporting them to develop these skills and qualities, is part of the magic of Tudor.

The girls, in turn, give of their all to life here and, as a consequence, they create truly special connections - both with each other and with the School - and develop a broad range of skills which contribute to their success at university and beyond. Many of the jobs of today won’t be there when our current Todds enter the world of work and we want to equip them with the confidence and agility to know that the skills and qualities they have are valuable and to encourage them to utilise these to make a positive difference in whatever they choose to do in their lives after they leave us.

I extend a warm invitation to you and your daughter to visit us at Tudor Hall and experience this extraordinary school community for yourself.
