Miss Prim insists on interviewing all pupils, in depth, before they may come to school. There will be a period where the pupil is in uniform and with physical discipline for poor performance, misbehaviour or a failure to study and learn from The Prospectus and Interview Guide.

This interview gives the pupil and Miss Prim ample chances to develop the mutual knowledge and trust to enter fully into the adult school scene. It also offers her a chance to assess their overall suitability and how well they are likely to mix with other pupils and to avoid any chance of public embarrassment later.

At the Muir, you can choose the age and gender of the character you are going to play. We cater for role play characters aged from 8 to 18, (8-10 for Prep. courses only). Once your character is chosen, throughout the course, be it for a day or a week, you will be expected to act and dress accordingly and others will treat you appropriately.

Muir Academy for Maids

Miss Prim has always trained maids to support Muir Academy. Recently she has begun organising training for them on a more formal basis, with structured one and two-day training events. Trainees each receive individual attention to develop their talents, & work together as well. All domestic skills are taught, plus personal skills; deportment, make-up for maids, etc. An hour elsewhere can cost more than a day with Miss Prim!

Miss Prim has a register of trained maids, who are encouraged to take a suitable position in service elsewhere, in a suitable household. Competent maids can also find service at the Muir Academy boarding weeks. For further details contact the school secretary.

Most maids receive the same discipline as the pupils. Some maids don't want it, at least at first!
