A Year 7 Parent

My son was skipping and jumping through the halls, and his excitement to show off his school and his lessons was very heart warming. He comes home daily with happy stories about his day at school.

A Year 6 Parent

I'd like to send a quick note on behalf of my son, who attended the Brazil fair (Year 6 outreach event) yesterday. He had a great time and was so excited when he came home and couldn't stop talking about the amazing things that he did whilst at the school.

A visiting prospective parent

My husband and I wanted to send a message to say how very impressed we were with our guide on Thursday evening and what a wonderful ambassador he was for your school. His manners were impeccable and he conversed confidently and informatively with us both.

Parents of a new year 7 student

My son is in year 7 and was struggling with 2 heavy musical instruments, a school bag, his diabetes bag and his lunch bag this morning and I saw 2 sixth formers rush over to help him carry his bags. I just want to register my thanks.

Ofsted, 2019

"The curriculum is ambitious, aiming for high academic achievement coupled with the development of personal skills and attributes".

The Good Schools Guide, 2021

"We noticed pupils absorbed in their lessons – who can blame them with a history lesson that had pupils on their edge of their seats with toe-curling Stalin stories and an English lesson with King Lear taught through role play?"

The Good Schools Guide, 2021

"Asked what stands out most about the school, nearly every parent answered us with the same two words – ‘pastoral care.’ We’ve rarely heard such praise for communications – ‘Every parent knows everything about how their child is getting on here, there is complete transparency,’ said a parent".

Ofsted, 2019

"Behaviour is outstanding. Pupils’ conduct is excellent, and they show respect and care towards each other and adults".

The Good Schools Guide, 2021

"There is a strong sense of order and structure and the school is no soft touch when it comes to discipline, with a firm line taken... But pupils assured us any sanctions given out are fair; ‘we know where we stand,’ said one".

The Good Schools Guide, 2021

"Parents, staff and pupils seem to genuinely value the sense of history and being part of something bigger".
