What the school inspection says

“The school seeks to provide a broad intellectual education complemented by many opportunities to develop human qualities through service and co-curricular activities in a framework of high quality, responsive pastoral care ... The extremely high level of attainment is a consequence of the pupils’ excellent attitudes to learning and a respect … for teaching that shows a high level of subject knowledge ... Pupils have a clear awareness of their individuality and their place in the school and wider community of north London … Pupils respect and value diversity within society, show respect for and appreciation of their own and other cultures … This respect is a major strength of the school.” There was a routine inspection in 2024.
