Houseroom EditorialOur take
Our take
Independent co-ed senior school in Mid Sussex for ages 11–18, day or boarding. Selective entry.
- Families seeking a senior school for ages 11–18, with thinking already on 11+ or 13+ entry.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Internationally-mobile families wanting IB or American-style qualifications rather than only A-levels.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
