Teaching & academics
Academic results sit a little above the national average at GCSE, where 25 per cent of grades were 9-7 against a national figure of 23 per cent. At A-level, top grades are broadly in line with national norms: 29 per cent reached A*-A, while the A*-B figure of 52 per cent trails the national 55 per cent slightly. Beyond GCSE and A-level, the school offers BTEC and the EPQ, giving pupils more than one route through the sixth form. The notably high proportion of pupils on SEN support, close to 37 per cent, suggests a school accustomed to working with a range of learning needs.

Watch Passmate decide how to teach.
Answer as a child would. Left: what they see. Right: what it learns about them.
An ISI-excellent school with a strong international character and a flexible mix of qualifications. The breadth of bursaries, including one at 100 per cent and reduced boarding fees for military families, may widen access for those who would not otherwise meet the considerable fees.
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.
