Teaching & academics
An excellent ISI rating for the quality of education points to consistently strong teaching across the school. The pupil-to-teacher ratio of around 15 allows for close attention, and the breadth of provision is reflected in the sizeable proportion of pupils receiving SEN support. Families considering 11+ entry should note the school continues to age thirteen, so children typically move on at the end of Year 8.
