Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School
When pupils join Merchant Taylors’ Girls’ School in Year 7, they are encouraged to explore fresh interests, take part in new activities, broaden their horizons and make new friends. Girls are supported to understand the ways in which they can grow as young women of the future by giving them opportunities and challenges and the tools to thrive.
Merchants’ girls excel at a variety of pursuits outside the classroom, from maths to music, netball to Nitzche. We set no limit on what they can achieve. The Combined Cadet Force, shared with the Senior Boys’ School, is the largest voluntary contingent in the North and girls currently account for more than 50% of cadets.
A dedicated and talented team of teachers and support staff build close bonds with girls which often last well beyond the time they leave school. Staff love nothing more than to see girls return to school as confident, successful young women, willing to give their time and advice to current pupils, support their education through bursary funding, or simply reconnect with old friends and mentors through the highly active alumni network.
The young women who leave Merchant Taylors’ are well-equipped to pursue a variety of successful careers and become the articulate, compassionate and intelligent leaders of tomorrow.
