Leading Independent Senior School in Surrey
Senior school is an exciting time in the educational journey. It is a time of change, self-discovery and new challenges. Our students are creatively inspired, academically stretched and individually supported to fully explore and understand who they are and what they can achieve.
Visitors often comment that our school atmosphere is unique. We believe this comes from being an all-through school. Our character and school spirit are welcoming, familiar, and refreshingly down-to-earth. With around 600 pupils from Years 7 to 13, our Senior School in Surrey is the ideal size: small enough that all pupils are known and valued as individuals but large enough to offer fantastic facilities, a wide-ranging academic curriculum, and extensive learning experiences and opportunities beyond the classroom.
Our campus truly reflects our ethos; a school of traditional foundations, but with our eyes set firmly on the future. In the beautiful Surrey grounds sits the stunning Le Clerc building, positioned comfortably alongside our modern classrooms, sports facilities and dedicated performing arts buildings. It is an inspirational place to learn each day.
