What The Good Schools Guide says..
All games (apart from polo) played on site; football, rugby and cricket are tackled with gusto and everybody gets a game. Most unusual and tremendously popular is Herpetology or Snake Club; this is the first time a Good Schools Guide reviewer has conducted interviews with a bearded lizard on her shoulder.

What the school says...
We provide an outstanding academic education in an atmosphere where 'boys can still be boys' and individuality is celebrated.
