單一性別女子學校在考試成績排行榜上名列前茅。當然，這並不意味著男女混合學校的個別孩子無法達到這些結果。他們可以而且確實這麼做了。這意味著單性別女子學校在公開考試成績方面遠遠超出了她們的實力。
女孩和男孩的成熟速度不同。因此，在學習方面，為每個人提供他們所需要的東西以使他們蓬勃發展是有意義的。您的女兒可以從認識到這些差異並提供專門針對她的需求和發展階段的教育的學校中受益。
教室裡和運動場上只有她們的同伴，單性別學校的女孩們就有了可以綻放智力和身體自信的空間。他們有巨大的自由去成為（和成為）自己，並充分探索他們可以獲得的所有教育機會。
每所學校都聲稱擁有出色的教牧關懷。女子學校的不同之處在於我們確實了解女孩。我們了解他們的友誼動態、他們的專注和偶爾的愚蠢，並且有些人可能會膽怯並且過分關心自己的正確性。這種理解意味著我們可以提供正確的支持並創造安全的環境，讓女孩能夠放心地承擔風險和提出問題。結果，他們變得更有彈性和自信。
在單性別學校，女孩不僅享受平等的機會，她們還享受所有的機會，無論是藝術、體育、科學、探險、職業洞察或其他課外活動。我們相信您女兒的抱負，無論是職業還是個人，都不應該受到限制。
女子學校裡沒有藏身之處──必須有人擔任舍監、隊長等，而且必須有人是女孩。今天的女孩可能成為明天的領導者，女子學校為您的女兒提供了絕佳的環境，不僅可以讓她學習如何承擔責任，還可以讓她學習如何承擔風險以及激勵和領導他人。這對她未來的職業生涯來說是一個很好的準備。
女子學校的一大好處是沒有性別刻板印象。女孩是領導者，她們在物理、工程和設計技術方面與英語、戲劇和藝術方面一樣出色，而且她們可以自由地追求學校提供的每項運動並取得成就。
女子學校在幫助學生進入他們選擇的大學方面有著出色的記錄。
無論您的女兒是直接就業還是先在大學或學院繼續學習，女子學校不僅能提供相關知識，還能提供女孩的環境所激發的韌性、信心和擺脫刻板印象的自由，為她鋪平道路。我們讓女孩們看到各種可能性，並幫助她們採取必要的實際和富有想像的步驟來實現她們的抱負。無論她想成為什麼——航空工程師、音樂家、醫生、零售經理、英國皇家空軍飛行員、時裝設計師——我們的目標都是支持和指導她。女子學校安排了眾多客座演講者、與潛在雇主、學院和大學的合作夥伴關係、探險和互訪以及與其他學校的男女生的聯合活動，幫助您的女兒為現實世界中生活的許多挑戰做好準備。

當父母來到阿德科特拜訪我們時，我們總是被這樣一個事實所震驚：他們都因一個共同的願望而團結在一起：他們都希望自己的女兒成為最好的人。
他們希望為女兒爭取的結果總是一樣的。
一般來說，父母告訴我們他們希望自己的女兒充滿信心 ：對自己有信心，敢於直言不諱，敢於挑戰和捍衛。
他們告訴我們，他們希望自己的女兒能夠擔任 領導職務。能夠作為優秀的團隊合作者掌控局勢，並且能夠在獨立工作時領導自己。
在這個多螢幕的 21 世紀，父母告訴我們，他們希望自己的女兒能 融入 現實世界，而不是在網路上呈現給他們的虛擬世界。他們希望自己能夠參與當地和全球的社會及其挑戰。
當然，他們希望他們成為 成就者。他們不僅要在考試中取得最好的成績，還要在其他領域取得成績，並在比賽和表演中感受到成功的快感。
最後，與成功密切相關的是，他們希望自己的女兒具有 韌性，了解失敗是成功的必要組成部分，並了解從錯誤中學習的價值：「反彈，不要打破」。
Adcote 獨特的 CLEAR 學習計畫旨在將 信心、 領導、參與、 成就 和 適應力等關鍵成果 融入我們所有的學生中，並融入課程和學校生活的各個部分。
該計畫已發展到包括廣泛的舉措，向學生介紹具有挑戰性的新學習、冒險任務和經驗，以測試他們的主動性、創造力、團隊建設、決心、社交技能和耐力。
對於所有女孩，我們每學期都會舉辦一個獨特的挑戰日。女孩們喜歡她們被要求完成的各種任務，並充分理解這些活動旨在發展 CLEAR 學習計劃的各個方面。我們的挑戰日各不相同，但透過戶外學習始終是其中的重要特點。先前的活動包括“dengineering”、叢林探險、定向越野，也許還有他們最喜歡的拆卸汽車引擎。有些挑戰發生在室內，例如一天內撰寫和出版一本書、編織或建造橋樑。
我們對屢獲殊榮的 CLEAR 學習計畫感到非常自豪，並希望它也能給您留下深刻的印象。
Adcote 是一所全學期寄宿學校，英國女孩和國際學生快樂地混合在一起。我們的「家外之家」寄宿處歡迎八歲至十八歲的女孩，我們在安全、關懷、友好和紀律嚴明的環境中提供全額寄宿和每週寄宿，學校尊重隱私和獨立，女孩們可以享受陪伴，有趣而生動的寄宿活動計劃。
寄宿主管和她的團隊提供對女孩們的福祉和成功非常重要的關懷、安慰和支持，培養和指導最年輕的寄宿生直至六年級學生的成熟。 Adcote 的許多工作人員本身就是寄宿生，因此對寄宿有真正的了解，並且能夠同情女孩們。
Adcote 為女孩們提供了一個可以放鬆身心的溫馨環境。她們會發現寄宿團隊和其他寄宿生的持續幫助和支持對於幫助女孩成功非常寶貴。真正的友誼和支持系統往往會在他們的餘生中保持牢固。我們在寄宿處有著強烈的家庭意識和傳統價值。
透過鼓勵自律和責任感，我們力求增強自信和自信，而不是傲慢。在六年級，女孩們享受有人監督的獨立生活，鼓勵她們成熟，讓她們在 13 年級結束時滿懷信心地繼續前進。
根據空房狀況，歡迎日間女生偶爾在寄宿處過夜。臨時寄宿安排是為了滿足偶爾過夜的需要，例如參加學校戲劇製作、生日慶祝活動，或父母因特殊原因需要離開家。
我們獲得了部隊連續性教育津貼的認可，並且是寄宿學校協會 (BSA)、獨立學校理事會 (ISC)、獨立學校協會 (ISA) 和女子學校協會 (GSA) 的成員。
Adcote is proud to be in membership of The Girls’ School Association (GSA). The GSA is the professional association representing the Heads of leading Independent Girls’ Schools in the UK.
Women are expected to balance many roles during their lives. Their paths to success require confidence, independence, the ability to lead, integrity and an instinct to achieve. Your choice of School for your daughter is therefore vital. These are some of the reasons we recommend that you consider a Girls’ School.
Single Sex Schools for girls dominate the top of the exam results league tables. Of course this doesn’t mean that individual children in Co-Ed Schools cannot match these results. They can and do. What it does mean is that Single Sex Schools for girls punch well above their weight when it comes to public exam results.
Girls and boys mature at different rates. So, when it comes to learning, it makes sense to give each what they need in order for them to flourish. Your daughter can benefit from being in Schools that recognise these differences and provide an education geared specifically to her needs and developmental stage.
With only their fellow girls in the classroom and on the sports field, girls in Single Sex Schools have the space in which their intellectual and physical confidence can blossom. There is a tremendous freedom to be (and become) themselves and to fully explore all the education opportunities available to them.
Every School claims to have excellent pastoral care. What’s different about Girls’ Schools is that we really do understand girls. We understand their friendship dynamics, their preoccupations and occasional silliness, and that some can be timid and overly concerned with being correct. This understanding means we can give the right kind of support and create safe environments in which girls feel comfortable taking risks and asking questions. As a result, they become more resilient and sure of themselves.
In Single Sex Schools, girls don’t just enjoy equal opportunities, they enjoy ALL opportunities, whether it be in the arts, sport, science, expeditions, careers insights or other extra-curricular activities. We believe there should be no limitations on your daughter’s ambitions, professional and personal.
There’s no hiding place in a Girls’ School – someone has to be Head of House, team leader and so on, and that someone has to be a girl. The girls of today could be the leaders of tomorrow and Girls’ Schools are wonderful environments for your daughter to learn not just how to shoulder responsibility, but also how to take risks and inspire and lead others. It’s a great preparation for her future career.
One of the great benefits of an All-Girls School is that there is no gender stereotyping. Girls are leaders, they excel as much in Physics, Engineering and Design Technology as they do in English, Drama and Art, and they are free to pursue and achieve in every sport their School offers.
Girls’ Schools have an excellent track record of helping their students gain places at the university of their choice.
Whether your daughter goes straight into employment or first continues her studies at university or college, Girls’ Schools prepare the way not only with pertinent knowledge but also with the resilience, confidence and freedom from stereotyping the all-girls environment inspires. We open girls’ eyes to possibilities and help them to take the practical and imaginative steps necessary to achieve their ambitions. Whatever she wants to be – aeronautical engineer, musician, doctor, retail manager, RAF pilot, fashion designer – it’s our aim to support and guide her. With so many arranging visiting speakers, partnerships with potential employers, colleges and universities, expeditions and exchange visits, and joint activities with girls and boys from other Schools, Girls’ Schools prepare your daughter for the many challenges of life in the real world.

When parents visit us here at Adcote, we are always struck by the fact that they are united by a single wish: they all want their daughters to be the very best they can be.
The outcomes they want to secure for their daughters are always the same.
Universally, parents tell us they want their daughters to be Confident: to have faith in themselves, to speak up, to challenge and defend.
They tell us they want their daughters to be able to Lead. To be able to take control of a situation as an excellent team player but also to be able to lead themselves when working independently.
In this multi-screened 21st century, parents tell us they want their daughters to be Engaged with the real world, not the virtual world presented to them online. They want them to be engaged with society and its challenges both locally and globally.
Of course, they want them to be Achievers. To achieve the best possible examination results they can but also to achieve in other areas and feel the thrill of success in competitions and performance.
Lastly, and so closely linked to success, they want their daughters to be Resilient, to understand that failure is a necessary part of success and know the value of lessons learned from mistakes: “bounce, don’t break”.
Adcote’s unique CLEAR Learning Programme is structured to embed the key outcomes of Confidence, Leadership, Engagement, Achievement and Resilience in all our students and is woven into the curriculum and every part of School life.
The programme has evolved to include wide-ranging initiatives that introduce students to challenging new learning, adventure tasks and experiences that test their initiative, creativity, team building, resolve, social skills and endurance.
For all girls, we hold our unique Challenge Days once a term. Girls enjoy the wide variety of tasks they are asked to complete and fully understand that the activities are designed to develop all aspects of the CLEAR Learning Programme. Our Challenge Days are all different but learning through the outdoors is always an important feature of them. Previous activities have included “dengineering”, bushcraft, orienteering and, perhaps their favourite, dismantling a car engine. Some challenges take place indoors, such as writing and publishing a book in a day, weaving or bridge construction.
We are really proud of our award-winning CLEAR Learning Programme and hope it will impress you too.
Adcote is a full termly boarding school, with a happy mixture of British girls and International students. Our ‘home from home’ boarding houses welcome girls from age eight through to eighteen and we offer full and weekly boarding in a safe, caring, friendly and disciplined environment in a school where privacy and independence are respected, and where the girls can enjoy companionship, fun and a lively programme of boarding activities.
The Head of Boarding and her team provide the care, comfort and support which are so important for the girls’ well-being and success, nurturing and guiding the youngest boarder through to the maturity of the Sixth Form student. Many of the staff at Adcote have been boarders themselves so have a real understanding of boarding and can empathise with the girls.
Adcote provides a homely environment where girls can relax. They will find constant help and support from the boarding team and fellow boarders are invaluable in helping girls to succeed. True friendships and support systems are forged that often remain strong for the rest of their lives. We have a strong sense of both family and traditional values in the boarding house.
By encouraging self-discipline and a sense of responsibility, we seek to promote self-confidence and assurance without arrogance. In the Sixth Form, girls enjoy supervised independent living, encouraging them to mature and enabling them to move on at the end of Year 13 with confidence.
Dependent on availability, day girls are welcome to stay in the boarding house for occasional nights. Casual boarding arrangements respond to the occasional need for overnight stays, such as involvement in a school drama production, a birthday celebration, or for when parents need to be away from home for a particular reason.
We are accredited for the Forces Continuity of Education Allowance and are members of the Boarding Schools Association (BSA), Independent Schools Council (ISC), Independent Schools Association (ISA) and Girls’ Schools Association (GSA).
