Controversy

In July 2017, Robin Malton, who taught at the school in 2000–2016, was given an indefinite prohibition order by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) for sending inappropriate messages to young vulnerable students.

In 2021 the school faced an industrial dispute over plans to withdraw from the Teacher's Pension Scheme. National Education Union members within the Girls Day School Trust balloted for strike action after an alleged “fire and rehire” ultimatum being out to staff. The GDST eventually agreed to allow current staff to remain in the Teachers Pension Scheme.
