Welcome from the Head

I am delighted and honoured to be Headmistress of Cobham Hall. I have a long association with the School, having started as a part-time Mathematics teacher when my daughter was very young and progressed through a variety of roles to the post of Deputy Headmistress, which I held for three years.

At Cobham Hall, we are dedicated to building opportunities for students so that they can achieve their best academic performances, ensuring that every student is known well as an individual and that their unique personality, talents and interests are nurtured and developed to the full. A Cobham Hall education is about developing the whole child and providing opportunities for students to flourish within and beyond the classroom; to become a successful learner and well-rounded individual who is excited to make the next steps in their learning journey.

Our Inspiring Setting

Why choose us?

‘There’s more in you than you think’

We believe untold brilliance lies within each of our students, and that each has the potential to develop skills and abilities they may never have believed possible. Our School motto, ‘There’s more in you than you think,’ underlines this. We are committed to providing our students with the academic knowledge to flourish, and to inspiring each student to have the courage to challenge themselves and find their own path in life.

Happy young people learn, and we place student wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, ensuring trust, respect, honesty, kindness and tolerance infuse every aspect of the educational experience. In our diverse and tolerant environment, students feel safe to question the world around them, to develop their curiosity and creativity, and to discover there is more in them than they know.
