It is a mixed, non-denominational school admitting pupils from age 11, with boarding available alongside day places. Entry includes an 11+ point, and the school is inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
Published headline results sit well below national benchmarks: the school's Attainment 8 score is 4.5 against a national average of 46.9, and the proportion of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths is recorded as 0% against a national average of 47%. Figures from a school of this size can be heavily affected by a small cohort and by the particular needs of the pupils it serves, so they are best read in that context. Parents will want to discuss directly with the school how progress is measured and supported for each child.

The last word
A very small, mixed boarding and day school where individual attention is the defining feature; the published academic data warrants a careful conversation with the school about how it supports each pupil.
