Teaching & academics
The ISI's top rating of 'excellent', together with a low pupil-to-teacher ratio, points to a school where individual progress can be closely tracked. Spanning ages 4 to 13, it follows the traditional prep pathway towards senior school entry. The sizeable proportion of pupils on SEN support indicates that academic provision is geared to accommodate differing needs rather than a single pace.
