Pupils are expected to complete a GCSE and A level curriculum and, if a pupil has SEND or a disability, an informal discussion with the SENDCo can be arranged; specialist one-to-one tuition can be provided in addition to the school fees.

Admissions Criteria

The admissions process includes an entrance assessment (with a written component and, for September entry into Year 7 and Year 9, a practical component), a reference from the applicant’s current school, and an interview with a senior member of staff. All applications are handled in confidence and the Head’s decision is final.
