Teaching & academics
At sixth form, the school stands out for offering both A-levels and the International Baccalaureate, giving older pupils a genuine choice of academic route, with the EPQ available as a further extension. GCSEs anchor the lower years. The ISI rating of 'good' suggests solid rather than exceptional academic outcomes, and families weighing the school may want to view recent results alongside the breadth of qualifications on offer.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
A medium-sized, all-through independent with boarding and a rare A-level-or-IB choice at sixth form, where pupils' personal growth is the headline strength.
That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
