About

Overview Our Vision Our Ethos Our History Our Houses Overview Our Vision Our Ethos Our History Our Houses Home / About / Overview We have spent years perfecting a genuine research based philosophy to education which we think is unique in the country and believe really equips our students to succeed at university and beyond.

We believe in a learning model whereby teachers and students engage in authentic, open ended academic research in the sciences and humanities searching for answers to questions that, currently, none of them know. By removing the traditional parameters to learning we are constantly astounded by what our students are capable of achieving, way beyond the standard curriculum.

Our way of measuring the success of our ethos is through the very high numbers of students who manage to secure places at Cambridge, Oxford and Russell Group universities. As well as by watching the remarkably confident, self-assured and impressive young men and women our students turn out to be.
