Our students now go on to further study at leading UK universities such as King’s College London, Warwick, Exeter, Bath and Royal Holloway in addition to leading Drama Schools and Conservatoires for music.

Indeed, 75% of students today have confirmed places at their first choice universities.

“I am also hugely grateful to our remarkable teachers who continue to inspire in the classroom and provide outstanding additional support in academic clinics and holiday revision groups.  We thank our pupils and their families for all they have done to support the school and wish them every success and happiness in their future endeavours”.  Ed O’Connor, Head

“We are immensely proud of this talented and hard-working group of students.   Their impressive results not only reflect their academic ability and work ethic but also their resilience and focus through the disruption of the COVID pandemic and lockdown during their GCSE and A-Level studies.
