The School

Each academic year, there are around 700 pupils in the School, of whom about a quarter are boarders. Of these, about 30 boarders and 70 day pupils are girls who join the School after GCSE examinations for their sixth-form years.

Most boys come to the School at the age of 13 and qualify for entry either through the Common Entrance examination, at present taken in June each year, or through the Westminster scholarship examination, known as The Challenge, which is taken in May.

Both boys and girls may enter the sixth form to study for their A levels.
