Welcome
Our Senior School is particularly distinctive and the pupils and the staff are immensely proud of their school. Many remark on the warm, friendly, and ambitious feel to the Senior School and the genuine sense of community and belonging.
It is a school where academic excellence is complemented by pastoral excellence and where enriching and exceptional co-curricular activities add an additional and exciting layer to the day-to-day education the pupils receive.
Pupils show an excellent ability to work collaboratively and to take control of their learning, guided by teaching which consistently asks them to think for themselves and share opinions.
