Teaching & academics

Teaching here happens in a tiny community, so lessons can be closely adapted to each pupil rather than delivered to a crowded classroom. Entry is at age 11, with an 11+ admissions route. For families who feel their child would thrive with a high degree of individual attention, the setting is unusually intimate.
