At City of London School for Girls, the curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education, emphasising both academic excellence and personal development. With a strong focus on STEM subjects, students have the opportunity to delve deep into the sciences and mathematics while also exploring languages, humanities, and the arts. City also offers the EPQ alongside A-levels which can take the form of a dissertation, investigation or performance and allows them to independently research something that interests them. Outside of the classroom, whether participating in robotics, music ensembles, or drama productions, students are encouraged to explore their passions and engage in diverse experiences that enrich their educational journey.
Co curricular life is vibrant, with opportunities in debating, coding, drama, orchestras, choirs, engineering clubs, creative writing, Model United Nations and numerous academic societies. Sport is offered both on and off site, with pupils participating in netball, athletics, swimming, fitness, football and fencing. Pupils also benefit from access to City of London institutions, and partnerships with cultural, legal and financial organisations enrich the school experience. Pastoral support is strong, with a tutor system and wellbeing programme designed to promote balance, resilience and emotional confidence.

The school invites twenty-four girls to join in year 3 and around 72-80 girls in year 7, with the corresponding entrance tests. There is also admittance into sixth form and this is based on GCSE results, as well as exams on the subjects they will be looking to study. For entry in Year 3, there is even a limit of 150 girls, who will be invited to take the assessment. Your daughter faces stiff competition even at this stage. It is highly recommended that you attend one of their 7+ events before registering. Registration begins as soon as your daughter is in Year 1. This is based on what children learn at school, but the level is expected to be much higher than the national average. There is also a short interview where girls can ask questions. This should be seen as a chance for the girls to show themselves in their best light, as well as finding out more about the school. Much like the 7+, we advise that you attend the 11+ open day at the school before registering your daughter to join in Year 7. The admissions process is fairly standard, with a 1 hour 20-minute English test and a 1 hour 15-minute Maths test, which is followed by an interview if the exam results are of a high enough standard. The English exam is split into 3 sections, (one reading and two writing), while the maths paper tests the girls on a variety of topics. The questions become more challenging towards the end of the paper.
