About the school

  • In response to the government’s plan to apply VAT to private school fees from January 2025, Foundation Principal E D Hester said: “We stand by our commitment to minimise the impact on families by reducing our fees from January. The increase passed on to parents will be 5 per cent, substantially less than the 20 per cent VAT rate.”
  • Specialist tuition is offered for SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) pupils via qualified and experienced Learning Support teachers and assistants.
  • High-performing Year 11 pupils have the opportunity to visit the universities of Oxford or Cambridge. Additionally, the Oxbridge Programme is run in tandem with the careers department to inspire top achievers to aim for the best universities.
