"I am extremely proud of them all and what they have achieved individually and together as a team.
"The hard work was recognised with us winning most improved corp, alongside most promising under 13 and the personality award."
The girls chosen to represent England are Amy Baker, Abigail Cooper, Emma Dye, Chloe Harding, Summer Head, Faye Martin, Philippa Martin, Chelsea Roberts, Millie Selway, Tazmin Selway and Grace Uppington.
