We value smiles as much as success and have a fantastic support system in place for pupils seeking a range of services. This includes Wellbeing, Personal, Social, Health and Careers experts. In our Pre-Prep this includes Wellbeing, Philosophical Thinking and our innovative Zones of Regulation practice.

The extra-curricular programmes we offer will no doubt have a big impact on your experience as a pupil. With over 20 clubs and activities in Pre-Prep and over 115 clubs and activities in Seniors, there is so much to be involved in and so many new friends to be made. Talk with our fantastic teams about what is on offer and check out our programmes to help your child decide which they’d like to do.

At the heart of everything we do is happily empower and support all our pupils as they contemplate life shaping decisions for the years ahead. We believe there is no substitute for readily available current advice and sound structured guidance. In Pre-Prep, our Little Leaders programme offers just that for children in all year groups. As pupils grow older, we offer bespoke one to one assistance and personal development opportunities to help each pupil make the right decision for the next stage of their life.

All our pupils belong to a House. We think this helps everyone to quickly belong, explore and reach their full potential. New pupils are welcomed as a member of a House and enjoy many socials, adventures and competitions with others in their House ‘family’. Life here and being part of a House is one side of the pupil experience here and goes hand in hand with academic and extra-curricular life.
9:00 – 1:00
All of our departments are open and are looking forward to your visit. Stop by each and take part in the fun activities they have in store for you.
