Besides, girls make a huge contribution to school life – for us it means the interesting communication, new ideas in implementation of projects, acquaintance to new culture. After all creation of the many-sided and interesting environment of communication is an integral part of a good education.

Tell in more detail about educational process at your school? What do you consider as the most interesting and unusual to schoolgirls?
All pedagogical collective takes part in creation of the program of training, and it allows to make it various and interesting to everyone. Among most remarkable events of the last semester I would like to mention a meeting with the legendary English astrophysicist the Lord Rice (Sir Martin John Rees), visit of parliament, museums and galleries, a meeting with the Member of Parliament from Shrewsbury, excursions to Birmingham and Oxford.

The school constantly develops, there are new scientific laboratories and studios. Good tradition are also musical concerts and theatrical performances participation in which accept practically all schoolgirls.

What prospects at graduates of your school?
It is pleasant to me to establish that fact that practically all graduates of Adcote school receive invitations from universities which they choose for receipt, including Uxbridge.

In my opinion, this fact confirms the highest level of the academic preparation of our graduates, their readiness to continue training at the best universities of Great Britain.

Taking an opportunity, I would like to wish good luck to all to the Ukrainian schoolgirls who will participate in competition!
