School Philosophy: At Badminton, we o er a holistic approach to education; to put it simply, we encourage the girls to get hands on with their subjects, ask questions and really get stuck in. Our focus is on nurturing the girls’ natural curiosity and fuelling their passion for learning rather than simply ‘fill them up’ with knowledge. What is special about Badminton? It is impossible to narrow it down to one thing, but our unwavering sense of community is something that really needs to be experienced to be believed. We’re fortunate that the size of our campus and community gives an unparalleled homely feel to the school, in which every girl is known by all. With over 35 nationalities represented within our close-knit community, girls develop an understanding of the viewpoints of others and an appreciation of the school’s international outlook.
