Mobile phone policy
Pupils may bring mobile phones into school, but they are required to be out-of-sight at all times, unless under a teacher's supervision. Pupils in years 7 and 8 lock their phones away at the start of the school day. Older pupils carry their phones in a pocket. Sixth form students may use their phones in their designated areas. Phones are often used alongside other technology (laptops, ipads and computer suites) to enrich and enliven lessons.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A large, broadly academic school with impressive A-level outcomes and a wide language and subject range. Best suited to families who value breadth and ambition, with bursaries and scholarships widening the door.
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.
