This highly sought after school accepts the most academically able boys, of whom more than half comes from its highly selective junior school, and offers them a richly stimulating learning environment. The atmosphere of intellectual curiosity encourages boys to explore well beyond an exam syllabus and to find the real joy of learning; many pupils progress to Oxbridge and Ivy League universities. Substantial investment over recent years has considerably enhanced the historic facilities, with excellent provision for sport, drama and music. All this is provided onsite at the school’s 45-acre campus on the banks of River Thames in Barnes. With a strong focus on nurturing well-rounded individuals, co- curricular activities offer opportunities to make and create, whether this be in the creative arts, volunteering in the community or on the sports pitch.
