Academic Success

Every year we have students who leave us with the top grades in all their subjects, showing that girls can and do achieve as highly as students anywhere in the country.

This is a testament to our ability to nurture the talents of our students and prepare them meticulously for their examinations.

With these strong foundations, girls continue to flourish, achieving outstanding results at “A” level and studying at the top universities.

All girls leave with qualifications.

Developing the Individual

We have outstanding success in helping students to develop their self-confidence and belief so that they can achieve and make a difference.

They have opportunities to debate at the highest level, to develop their leadership skills through a structured programme and to interact with positive and inspirational role models.

So impressed was Michelle Obama when she visited the school in 2009 that she asked to meet the girls again when she returned in 2011. This time she met them at Oxford University, recognising their potential to reach the top.

Michelle Obama visited us again for a third time in December 2018 as part of her book tour. She spoke to an audience of 300 EGA students.

Michelle Obama inspired us all through her warm words of advice, encouragement and motivation, pushing us all to reach our full potential and overcome the barriers we may face. It was an unforgettable and uplifting day

EGA is known for its strengths in the Arts and we place great emphasis on girls having excellent tutors and support.
