More House School

Farnham, Surrey, South East · GU10 3AP

More House School takes a distinctive approach as a Catholic boys' school in Farnham, Surrey, where supporting pupils who learn differently sits at the heart of its work. Founded in 1939, it educates around 509 boys from age 11 and offers both day and boarding places. More than a quarter of pupils are on SEN support, a notably high proportion that reflects the school's particular focus. Families considering it should read its results in that context: this is a setting built around individual need rather than headline league-table performance.

Teaching & academics

Academic results sit below national averages, with an Attainment 8 score of 34.4 against 46.9 nationally and 25% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% across England. These figures are best understood alongside the school's high level of SEN support, where progress is often measured differently from raw attainment. Alongside GCSEs, the school offers vocational BTEC qualifications, giving pupils alternative routes that suit a range of learning styles. A small sixth form of 79 students continues the supportive, individualised model.
