Best for
- Families seeking a senior school for ages 7–16, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
Watch-outs
- Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
