Each year, the school's "birthday" is celebrated with a tradition in which girls dress up.

[3] Central to the school campus is what used to be a now-iconic copper beech tree which has been in existence since the 19th century.

It survived the Blitz and the land around it was used by locals for "victory gardens" during the World Wars.

In 2008, the original beech tree was cut down due to a fungal infection.

The remaining stump was carved into a memorial and a new tree was planted in its place.
