Head of prep since 2020 is John Bond, previously deputy head of Hatherop Prep. An ex-housemaster, he is well placed to build boarding take-up and grow pupil numbers to around 100, with current numbers already up by 10 per cent year on year.

Gently selective. Admissions policy allows for older prep applicants to sit tests, but parents refer merely to a taster day. Seamless entry from prep into the senior school with entrance exams at years 7 and 9 for external candidates only. Candidates for sixth form take papers in two of their chosen A level subjects.
