Headteacher Andrea Spowart gave a brief presentation, providing visitors with an insight into the context of Mary Astell and the school's work in supporting young people. The guests then enjoyed guided tours of the school, led by Deputy Headteacher, offering an opportunity to see the school's facilities and provision in action.
