What The Good Schools Guide says..
Classes fairly small; year groups of 70ish split into four and setted for maths, English, French etc. Loads of competitive triumphs too in maths challenges and the Gilbert Murray Classical Essay competition among others. Impressive record of art school entry (lots to Glasgow) and some distinguished past pupils. Walls zing with really exciting work, often killing two birds with one stone by using a theme from literature or even chemistry...
