April 2022May be a private school but the types of students you will find here aren't too dissimilar from other schools, ones who don't care about their education, vape in the toilets, push others around in an attempt to support their fragile egos and push teachers to the brink of sanity. Pretty standard stuff

December 2018I have attended this school for five years, the teachers are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is ok, but the main building is beautiful. The education given here is astounding and certainly unique.

December 2017They taught me some important things (how to tie a tie), some less important things (the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell) and gave me a good few laughs along the way. 9/10 I would go again. Although the rules about hair length are pretty strict.

January 2020Awful school with some seriously questionable characters acting as teachers - Often bullies with favourites. Not the type of people you want guiding your children, especially when paying for it. Care far more about their exam result rankings and profit than the lives of children at the school.

June 2021What a horrible, overrated and expensive school. I wish I'd gone to the local state school instead of this place. Single sex schools should be abolished as it's so old fashioned
