In a typical year, new students make up around one third of our cohort and we very much appreciate the vibrancy and perspective that is added by these external candidates. Weekly boarding in the Sixth Form provides our students with the perfect opportunity to gain independence, self-motivation and academic discipline; skills which they can build upon and then utilise to ensure a seamless transition into university life. Boarders are consistently the best young leaders and team players in the school. They are amongst those who participate most in sports, music and enrichment activities, and achieve the most outstanding academic results. Our leavers in 2019 year went on to study Medicine at Oxford, Engineering at Oxford, PPE at Warwick, Chemistry at UCL, International Relations at Durham, Aerospace Engineering at Bath and Economics with History at Cardiff.
