Children who flourish here
- Families seeking a non-fee-paying selective school with a large sixth form and broad co-curricular offer.
- Children who respond well to a structured school culture.
Children who may struggle
- Entry is highly competitive and the published 11+ qualifying score is not the same as the eventual offer score.
- Families looking for a simple published pass mark may find the admissions picture more opaque than the process calendar suggests.
