Serious learning, at a human scale
Thirty eight subjects taught by specialists, in classes small enough for every student to be heard. Choose a stage below to see the programs.
Programs by stage
Find the right stage for your child
Each stage has its own head, tutor team and building, so students feel part of a smaller community within the school.
A broad, confident start
The first three years cover a wide curriculum taught in small sets, with a strong focus on reading, numeracy and learning how to learn.

How we teach
Lessons that ask students to think out loud
Our teachers plan for discussion, practical work and short written reflection in every lesson. Students explain their reasoning, test it against others and leave knowing what they understood.
Small sets
Maths, English and languages are taught in sets of up to 16, so pace matches the group.
Hands on science
Every science lesson from the second year onwards includes practical work in a laboratory.
Feedback that is used
Written feedback comes with a short task, so students act on it within the week.
Admissions for 2027
Come and see a normal school day
Open mornings run every few weeks during term. Meet the Head, sit in on lessons and tour the campus with two of our students.
