What The Good Schools Guide says

Head

Since January 2022, Melanie Horn, previously assistant head at St Martin’s School, Northwood. Studied primary education at University of Wales, Bangor, since when she's been a primary teacher for 20 years working across the maintained and independent sectors.

Entrance

Most join the nursery at 3+ for automatic entry into reception. Two-form entry in reception. Around half a dozen join year 3. Entry from year 1 upwards involves a full day assessment including English, maths and reasoning tests.
