Head of Melrose Welcome

“You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose...”
Dr. Seuss
Welcome to Melrose, where kindness is the cornerstone of everything we do. Our vibrant community empowers our girls with confidence, promotes joy and a love for learning. It encourages children to explore their talents while valuing the qualities of others.
Our goal is to inspire our girls to be the best version of themselves. As a parent myself, I understand the desire to see your children stay young and protected for as long as possible, but also recognise the importance of preparing them to navigate the complexities of our rapidly changing world.
At Melrose, we are rooted in our heritage while striving to be innovators in our curriculum. We are committed to preparing our girls for the challenges of the modern world by breaking down arbitrary subject boundaries and taking them on an educational journey that develops deep content knowledge alongside the skills of intellectual and emotional flexibility, problem-solving, and comfort with technology.
Our vision extends beyond the classroom; we encourage our girls to be changemakers, innovators, creators, pioneers, and leaders. We help them find their voice, both written and spoken, and develop the confidence to express their ideas and opinions to make a positive impact on our island and beyond.
Alongside academic rigour, we encourage them to care passionately about the world and develop a love for nature and the outdoors. We support them to explore all the possibilities available to them in the classroom, on the sports field, in co-curricular clubs, on the stage, in the Art room, at Forest School to name a few.
Together, in close partnership with you, let us nurture a generation of young women who have integrity, are brave, kind and compassionate, and ready to leave their mark on the world.
If you would like to gain a more in-depth understanding of our school, it all starts with a simple enquiry.
