Southfield is an exceptional girls’ school with a mixed Sixth Form. This is an exciting time as the school continues on its journey of expansion and development. Our new Sixth Form building has recently opened with state of the art facilities, including a lecture theatre, bespoke coffee shop and a dedicated Professional Learning space for our staff. 

We are committed to providing a world class education for every student through a well-designed and balanced curriculum. Our established culture provides a calm, safe and stimulating learning environment. While our recent short Ofsted Inspection confirmed that the school remains Good. It also identified that the school may have been classed as Outstanding if a full inspection had taken place. 

We place significant emphasis on working collegiately as a staff to share our expertise and subsequently enhance the learning experience with our students. Every member of the staff is involved in a variety of professional learning programmes that take place every Wednesday across the academic year. All teachers are members of the Chartered College of Teaching providing access to the latest evidence and research.

We continue to be immensely proud of our school and our students!
