The challenging academic programme in Upper School is broadly based on National Curriculum 2014 guidelines but is extended to meet the more rigorous requirements of the 11+ entrance examinations.

Our pupils benefit from a carefully balanced and well-rounded education, using specialist subject teachers whenever possible throughout the curriculum. Results in National Tests at age 11 have been exceptional in relation to the national average for maintained Junior Schools. This level of attainment indicates that pupils make a high rate of progress in relation of pupils of similar ability.

Although we are an academic school with high aspirations for our pupils, we believe in developing the whole child. Our goal is to provide strong academic foundations balanced by a range of creative, sporting and social pursuits, within and beyond the curriculum. We pride ourselves in helping all our pupils to realise their academic potential, preparing and equipping them for a wide variety of senior schools.
