Of creating the right balance between academic success and personal fulfilment among our students.
What does a successful school look like to you?
Ethos and atmosphere are everything – a relaxed but not sloppy environment, where expectations are high and students and staff possess a love of learning.
What is the most important quality you want every child to have when they leave your school? And why?
Confidence and integrity.
And why? Confidence in themselves and in their achievements will be a crucial element to their future happiness and success whilst their integrity will ensure that they will always know to do the right regardless of the situation.

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK.
