Teaching & academics
Entry at 11 is via the 11+, so families should be prepared for a selective admissions route. The very small roll means class sizes are likely to be modest, allowing teachers to know each pupil well. Oversight comes from the ISI rather than Ofsted, in line with its independent status.
