Teaching & academics
Inspected under the ISI framework rather than Ofsted, the school prepares boys for senior school entry, with 11+ among its entry points. Its size means classes are necessarily small, allowing close attention to each pupil's progress. The relatively high proportion of boys on SEN support points to a willingness to accommodate a range of learning needs.
