Academic Achievements

The school exists to provide �Education with Character� so that pupils have an outstanding launch for life, both academically and in their personal development. This is achieved by a broad and modern curriculum, excellent experiences within and beyond the classroom and a caring ambience in which individuals flourish.

A highly qualified and committed teaching staff, for whom Continuing Professional Development is provided, ensure that every pupil who works well ensures a personal best. We also exploit the advantages of our continuous school on one site; sports coaching to a high Prep School standard exists for our junior girls and boys and the Head of Science either teaches or runs clubs for every pupil from Year 3 to 13!
