Academic Excellence
Our broad and creative curriculum challenges pupils on a daily basis, building confidence and curiosity and helping them to discover a lifelong love of learning. Our academic programme is designed to stretch every pupil, so they can achieve their unique potential. We are proud of our academic achievements, and our pupils consistently achieve excellent results at 11+, enabling them to move on to some of the most selective senior schools in the country.
