learning environment for our young people to feel encouraged, enthused and confident in securing the best educational outcomes for their future successes. Our aim is that students feel safe, supported and inspired through the team of staff at CG by fostering relationships through personal tutoring and the overarching focus and strategic steer of the Heads of Year. Our students become adept learners who are resilient, robust and able to cope with the demands of examination work from Year 10 onwards. An inclusive approach is key to meeting the needs of all our students and we recognise that some students, regardless of the fact that they have gained a selective place, might find some difficulties with their academic studies, or with settling into a new secondary environment. Parents and carers can be assured of our positive approach in meeting the needs of our students, with highly skilled staff in place, dedicated to ensuring individual additional support is available and bespoke to your child's needs.

Mindfulness is scientifically proven to help reduce stress, anxiety, sadness and depression. Mindfulness can also increase focus, concentration and encourages students to be more in the present moment, enjoying the now rather than living in the past or worrying unnecessarily about the future. We offer mindfulness sessions as part of our Leadership Development Programme and intensive short booster programmes such as early interventions for our Year 11 students in preparation for their final year exams. Ultimately, we aim to offer the maximum wrap around support for our young people to excel and enjoy the demands of their academic learning journey at CG, with a clear focus on achieving excellent exam results at GCSE and A level qualifications.

We firmly believe that a positive healthy mindset is integral to the success of our young women today. Wellbeing at CG is dynamic, forward thinking, innovative and different to any other educational organisation. We have developed a model that encourages students to understand how they can take responsibility for their health and wellbeing, giving them the tools that will assist them whilst at CG, enabling them to be happy, healthy resilient adults who are ready and excited for the world of work and Higher Education. We understand the importance of combining health and education, which means we work with a range of different health professionals working towards one goal; empowering young people to understand the importance of health and wellbeing. We think differently and we educate and support our young women by offering a variety of different mediums to access up to date advice and guidance around health and wellbeing. At CG we provide access to a range of new and innovative key health initiatives such as therapeutic counselling, mindfulness programmes and our UKAT Furry Friends. Our UKAT Furry Friends include two very friendly and super nice dogs called Blu and Trek. Sapper is our third new four
