About the School
The school serves approximately 900 pupils aged 11–18 and has a historic reputation for combining academic excellence with strong pastoral support. The Sixth Form consistently sends the majority of its leavers to Russell Group universities and competitive postgraduate courses.

The campus offers a blend of heritage architecture and modern teaching facilities. English classrooms are well equipped with digital learning resources, and the library is extensive, supporting both curriculum and independent reading. Outside the classroom, the school offers a rich co-curricular life—student publications, debating societies, theatre productions, writing competitions, and public speaking events.
