Inspiring Hearts and Minds
Senior School
Welcome to the Senior School
JAGS Senior School is a hive of activity, filled with over 800 students who are bright, intellectually curious and who thrive in an atmosphere of enrichment and of life beyond the curriculum. Our commitment to a full, rich and balanced education, both in and out of the classroom, means this is an environment for openly embracing the opportunities on offer. We genuinely believe that there’s no greater platform than JAGS for our students, who are so passionate about life and learning, to go out and be the changes they want to see in the world.
Hand in Hand
Academic
At JAGS, we encourage a genuine love of life-long learning in all our pupils. This goes far beyond exams and results, inspiring pupils to explore subjects beyond the curriculum, to delve beyond specifications and to always remain curious about the world around them.
Wellbeing
We want all pupils in our care to feel happy, supported and fulfilled in order to thrive and reach their full potential here at JAGS. We have a contemporary and honest approach to pastoral care, with the emphasis on knowing each student as an individual. Wellbeing is integral to everything we do; inspiring hearts and minds is woven into our fabric.

Beyond the curriculum
JAGS is a bustling hive of activity, and we strongly encourage girls to seize opportunities in and outside of the classroom to truly benefit from a holistic and balanced education. Our thriving and inclusive co-curricular programme allows girls to discover new passions, build new friendships and to develop vital skills for the future.
The School Day
On any day here at JAGS you will find an extraordinary array of clubs, activities, fixtures, rehearsals and performances. No two days are ever the same at JAGS!

Hi, I’m Scheherazade. My favourite subjects are philosophy, German and drama. I love Sport and play netball for the county but also enjoy playing volleyball, hockey and water polo. I also play the cello and sing. This year I have joined Debating Club as this reflects my ambition to be a Barrister.

Hi, I’m Camille. I’m a Music Scholar here at JAGS and play piano and cello as well as sing in the school choir. My favourite subject is English; I really enjoy reading fiction, especially the classics. I play netball and water polo and am a member of JAGS cheerleading team. In my spare time this year I have enjoyed doing macramé and taking part in a drama club.
