[edit] About
In 2011, Ofsted had reported the school as being 'very good'. From 2006 onwards, PUPILS WITH EQUIVALENT OF FIVE OR MORE GCSES GRADE C OR ABOVE INCLUDING ENGLISH AND MATHS had been greatly above the national average. The school is fun, yet very educational and mainly centres on the students giving their best for better quality of their work and life, as also catching and using every possible opportunity (which the school of course gives) that can change their grades for better thus the motto 'Seize the day'. The school has high standards. The girls learn to respect the teachers, staff, their friends and themselves. The parents are proud of Connaught and so are the students. 2010 exam results were the best ever: 74% achieving 5+ A*-C grades with 64% achieving 5+ A*-C including English and Maths and 74% of all their students achieving at least one A*-C grade in Languages.
