Teaching & academics
Results are strong: 65% of A-level entries reach A*-A and 82% achieve A*-B, figures that suit ambitious students aiming for competitive university courses. The curriculum is unapologetically specialist, with Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and Chemistry among the most popular choices. This is a school for those who already know they want to pursue STEM subjects rather than a broad general education. Notably, more than a third of pupils receive SEN support, suggesting a willingness to back able students who need additional help.

The last word
A small, focused sixth form for committed mathematicians and scientists. Families weighing it up should be clear that its specialism is the whole point.
