About the school

  • Pupils of this co-ed day school take part in the Barnardo’s mentoring service and volunteer with Age UK. 
  • When the school runs events, such as visits from leading authors, it offers free tickets to other schools in the area.
  • Many academic departments run clubs for pupils who want to pursue an interest in their subject beyond lessons, and there are 29 music groups and ensembles, three drama groups, and clubs focusing on interests from art to debating, chess to the environment. Sports can be competitive, in teams, or for fun, such as squash and badminton.
  • A team of pastoral prefects works with each year group to run assemblies, activities and one-to-one mentoring. 
  • Headmaster’s scholarships, offering a 20 per cent fee reduction, are for exceptional academic performance in the entrance exams or junior school Year 6 assessment. Up to 10 per cent of students receive financial support.
