Does anyone have any experience of this school (at senior level)? We’re considering it for our DS who is roughly average academically and likes sport but isn’t what I would call a really sporty child.

I’d look at the financials, they’ve been struggling for a while and I would worry about long term stability

If I’m not mistaken the school was featured in a Chanel 4 show about private schools vs state schools. This was a few years ago but I thought BA came across very well, as did the Head.

Oh that’s (not) good to know, thank you. I didn’t realise that. Do you know where I could look to find out more information on their finances?

That sounds really interesting, will have to see if I can find it. I wonder whether it was the new head or the old one as I know they’ve changed in the last couple of years.

Apologies, I’ve found the show on YouTube and the show featured a different private school. Sorry!
