Academic excellence aside – each year sees entrants into top universities, including a good number to Oxbridge – the school invariably stars at sport. The choice is incredible: 31 pitches and up to 29 teams competing every Saturday in a variety of sports. Performing arts is another strength, with 70 to 80 performances a year.
There is also a strong sense of community. Even the boarders are quite local, resulting in active parental involvement with lots of social activities.
