Firm believer in importance of non-academic extras. One of the reasons we are good in the exam room is because we have these extra-curricular activities. Original redbrick buildings set around lovely green college-style quad. Uniform which includes black blazer with badge and striped school tie a must for all even sixth formers. General feeling in school of boys knuckling down and wanting to do well.
Boys positively bounce into lessons, no evidence of foot-dragging here.
Class sizes no bigger than 30 with lots of interaction and input from pupils. Recently established peer support group helps deal with boys concerns. Otherwise pastoral matters dealt with in house . All boys put into one of six houses on arrival and tutor put in charge of particular house group will look after set of boys throughout their schooling. Serious disciplinary misdemeanours dealt with swiftly by head.
