Summary: The thread of sisterhood is woven tightly into the fabric of Trafalgar Castle and this is nurtured daily. Being in an all-girl environment allows students to just be themselves. But that’s just the beginning. At Trafalgar we do much more to support and encourage all students to achieve excellence in all aspects of the rich programming offered. Beyond the academic programme, there is an extensive co-curricular life for the girls. At Trafalgar, we offer a full life outside of the classroom, knowing that, for girls, taking risks and trying new things builds resilience and self-esteem—those key characteristics that will carry them through the toughest times. Whether it’s Athletics, the Arts, active Citizenship or Peer Mentoring, we have something to offer every girl at the Castle. One new dad reports, “Within weeks of coming to Trafalgar Castle my daughter started taking risks and joining teams she had never tried before”. That’s exactly what we want to encourage!
