Welcome to the Upper School
Our pupils join our Upper School in Year 9 (aged 13), many from our Prep School, and stay with us through to Sixth Form (aged 18).
We pride ourselves on providing an education where character is as important as capability.
Through expert teaching, a wealth of co-curricular activities and strong pastoral care, we ensure that every pupil is supported, encouraged and driven to achieve their very best.
We aim to develop open-minded young people with a real understanding of the world around them, fully prepared for their future in a rapidly changing modern world.
