What the School Does Well
The school has many strengths; outstanding amongst these are the following:
- The exceptional range and quality of the highly valued activities programme, allied to a broad and challenging curriculum, provide pupils with unrivalled opportunities for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
- The pastoral care, support and guidance provided for the pupils are of high quality. Pupils’ very good relationships with one another and with the staff are based on mutual respect and trust and produce a culture conducive to intellectual curiosity and to high standards of learning
- High academic standards are achieved at A-level.
- The vision and inspirational leadership of the headmaster, with his personal commitment to the welfare of each individual pupil, ably supported by an efficient and well balanced senior management team, have created an immensely civilising environment, in which all pupils are encouraged to develop the full range of their talents and realise their potential.
- A talented, dedicated team of teaching and support staff nurture and support joy in learning, an appetite for knowledge and a determination to achieve in well-motivated, purposeful and eager pupils.
- The life of the school is supported by many outstanding facilities, as well as by a generous scholarship and bursary fund. This has been made possible by the commitment and astute financial acumen of the governing body, past and present.
