Results
Most of our pupils leave us at the end of Year 8 (13+), and we have seen pupils transition to over 50 different senior schools (2018-2025), including our own Senior Section from September 2025. Our boys have secured 350 awards, and 95% moved on to their first-choice school (2020-2025).
We are delighted to share that for the academic year 2024-2025, our leavers all secured a fantastic destination senior school, with the largest number of awards offered in the last five years. Across the cohort, 40 boys have collectively earned 55 awards, demonstrating the breadth and depth of their achievements.
