[edit] History
The School was founded in 1911 under the name Leehurst School. In 1953 it was taken over by the Sisters of La Retraite and took their name. In 1988, the school became a charitable trust, and in 1996 it merged with The Swan School, an independent preparatory school for boys founded in 1933 by a Miss Swanson.
The main building, originally a 19th century family house, occupies a five-acre stretch of land which has been added to and expanded at various times up until the present day, the newest addition being a separate building for the preparatory school. The school also has access to a pavilion and playing fields in Salisbury Cathedral Close.
The most recent addition to the faculty is Mr Roger Leake, Headmaster, who took over the position from Mrs Rosemary Simmons in 2006.
[edit] Curriculum
The school teaches a wide range of subjects, for the Common Entrance examination and up to Key Stage 4 and GCSE.
