Teaching & academics
Recent published results sit below national benchmarks, with an Attainment 8 score of 31.8 against a national average of 46.9, and the headline measure for grade 5+ in English and Maths recorded at 0% versus 47% nationally. Set against this, the breadth of post-16 routes is a genuine strength: alongside A-levels, the school offers the International Baccalaureate and the EPQ, giving sixth-formers - of whom there are 82 - room to follow either a focused or a wide-ranging path. Families looking closely at the figures will want to ask the school how it supports progress for pupils of differing starting points.

A medium-sized, non-selective-in-spirit independent with boarding, broad sixth-form choices and a clear focus on pastoral development. The published academic data merits a careful conversation at open day.
