What The Good Schools Guide says..

Tiny sets at A level – often ones and twos – a rare privilege and at half the cost of the top tutorial companies. They will run an A level course with one pupil and don't ditch the subject – or its teacher – if it has no takers in a given year. ‘We do some gruesome stuff,’ chortled the dynamic and experimental head of art as we gaped at the ‘urban zombies’, the girl under a blanket of fresh minced steak and various startling depictions of blood and vomit. It was reassuring to turn to the multi-coloured shoes...

Since 2006, Mrs Rosalynd Kamaryc BA MSc PGCE (50s). Petite, chic and with a lovely soft Irish voice, Mrs Kamaryc immediately comes across as the warm, calm and practical person to whom you'd want to entrust your precious daughter. A mathematician who still teaches – in her case, the bottom GCSE set. 'I just love teaching,' she says, and 'counts it a privilege to walk the school' once a day.
