Education here is about more than academic results. It is about character – the courage to try, the kindness to support others, and the resilience to keep going when things are hard. Our aim is to help every young person become the very best version of themselves, ready to step into the world with confidence and purpose. - Mr Andrew McBride, Headmaster

Admission involves registration and deposits; Year 7 and Year 9 entrants sit entrance examinations (English, Mathematics, Non-Verbal Reasoning) and have an interview. Years 8 and 10 use placement tests in English and Mathematics. Sixth Form requires five GCSE/iGCSE grades (5–9) and may have subject prerequisites. Scholarships are available across various areas and include a process with interviews. Applicants may attend a taster day or open day, and a handwritten personal statement is required for some entries.
Registration fees: Nursery £50; UK pupil £120; International pupil £250. Deposits: UK £120; International £250. Scholarships can reduce fees (typical ranges 5–20%, up to 50%). There are specific bursaries including the Trapnell Scholarship, Jackson Scholarship, Rossall Foundation ‘Changing Lives’ bursary (up to 100% for Sixth Form), Forces bursaries, and clergy bursaries. International scholarships are rare and assessed case by case. Some costs may apply for signature programmes.
