About the school

  • Over the past five years, 50 per cent of pupils went on to study at Oxbridge and Ivy League universities or equivalent.
  • The school provides nearly 100 societies, clubs and activities for pupils. During the 100-minute lunch break, most pupils take part in three lunchtime co-curricular activities, including sport, every week.
  • In recent years, pupils have established new societies which include artificial intelligence, pottery, prestige (magic) and cookery.
  • At lunch, staff eat in the dining hall with the pupils. The menu includes traditional favourites such as fish and chips, and international dishes.
  • Funds are available for free and subsidised places at all entry points. Pupils hoping to benefit from a bursary must gain a place at the school on academic merit. Honorary academic and music scholarships are also on offer.
