Girls on Board

Holy Cross Prep School is proud to be a Girls on Board school

Girls on board is an award-winning approach to help girls between the ages of 7 and 18 navigate the often-troubled waters of friendship problems. The approach aims to help girls, their parents, and their teachers to understand the complexities and dynamics of girl friendships. The language, methods and ideas empower girls to solve their own friendship problems and recognises that they are usually the only ones who can. By empowering girls to find their own solutions, parents need worry less, schools can focus more on the curriculum and the girls learn more effectively – because they are happier. ‘Girls on Board’ is helping school communities across the country ensure their girls are happier at school, less distracted by friendship issues and more focused on the important things.

Over 300 schools have adopted this award-winning approach and are now supporting thousands of girls in their friendships. Girls on Board has featured on BBC Radio Five Live and in the TES.
