Teaching & academics
The published Attainment 8 figure of 21.7 sits well below the national average of 46.9, and the recorded proportion of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths is shown as 0% against a national average of 47%. These figures are unusual for an independent school of this kind, and families would be wise to ask the school directly how its results are reported and what these measures reflect, as published data for independent schools can be incomplete or recorded differently.
The last word
An independent boys' school in Northwood with a single 11+ entry point; the headline attainment figures sit oddly low, so it is worth probing the school's own account of results before applying.
