Academics
Our ambitious curriculum is carefully crafted to unlock each child’s potential and provide a solid foundation for future academic achievement.
In the Lower School, emphasis is placed on providing a smooth transition from the pre-prep years, while supporting and fostering our students’ development. Children grow gradually more confident and independent, nurturing critical skills and personal qualities as they navigate our broad and aspirational syllabus.
Upper School is a time of academic rigour when pupils develop a deeper understanding across subjects, culminating in outstanding results in the Common Entrance examinations. Students take on more responsibility and become role models for the lower years while championing our values and ethos. As a result, they leave fully equipped for life in senior school and beyond.
Subjects
Every subject is integral to our syllabus and contributes to a strong, all-rounded education. Our talented teachers bring a wealth of knowledge and outstanding credentials, which ensure that their lessons are always stimulating, interesting and inspirational, and ultimately prepare pupils to excel in senior school.

Sports
Our exceptional sports programme helps boys to develop their athletic abilities to a high level, earn various esteemed accolades, and cultivate important life skills and personal qualities.
Through challenging and engaging sports sessions, our experienced coaches and specialist teachers empower students to become skilled sportspeople, whether in football, rugby, cricket, swimming, golf tennis or water polo. Our young athletes achieve top honours in local and national sporting competitions, including the Independent Schools Golf Association (ISGA) tournament and the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) Skiing Championships, and compete regularly with leading London and Surrey prep schools. With twice-yearly sports tours to exciting destinations, such as Holland and South Africa, our boys have the valuable experience of competing at a global level.
Clubs
Our extensive club programme allows pupils to realise their full potential by exploring, discovering and cultivating their unique skills and interests. Students become adept across various disciplines and develop into confident, resilient, independent and well-rounded individuals.
Supported throughout by our talented, dedicated club leaders, pupils are challenged to become skilled competitors: the Fencing, Chess and Swimming club boys regularly excel in local and national tournaments. With that said, we applaud boys’ enthusiasm and willingness to try new things. As such, students of all abilities are encouraged to participate in our morning and afternoon club sessions.
