School summary

With 524 pupils and an unusually generous pupil-to-teacher ratio of around six to one, classes are small and the attention close.

Notably, around a third of pupils receive some form of SEN support, suggesting a school accustomed to helping a range of learners thrive.

Teaching & academics
Results sit well above the national picture: half of GCSE grades fall in the 9-7 range, against a national average of 23%, a strong showing from a school that does not select narrowly at the top. The curriculum is broad, spanning the full sciences, humanities, two modern languages in French and Spanish, and creative and technical subjects such as Design & Technology, Computer Science and Music. The combination of academic depth and a low pupil-to-teacher ratio points to teaching that can be closely tailored to individual progress.

Beyond the classroom
Rugby is the headline sport, and the school's scholarship programme rewards talent in music, art, drama and sport alongside academic ability. That breadth of recognition signals a school that values achievement beyond the classroom as well as within it.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A small, close-knit Catholic school where strong GCSE results meet genuine breadth and a remarkable degree of individual attention. Means-tested bursaries and a range of scholarships help widen access to fees of £18,180 to £28,725 a year.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
