The College was founded to provide an exceptional education for children from all walks of life and remains deeply committed to increasing accessibility for young people whose families cannot afford the fees but who would thrive here. In the long-term, the College wants 30% of pupils to receive financial support and it is currently in the planning stages of an exciting and ambitious fundraising campaign to achieve this goal.
The life of the College is a full one, with lessons Monday to Saturday and co-curricular activities taking place seven days per week. There is a strong sense of community at the College, built upon its exceptional pastoral care and diverse co-curricular programme. The College has had excellent recent exam results and has plans to become even more academically ambitious.
