The school has 750 pupils divided into four sections, each section located in its own building. There is a staff of 60. Up to the age of 9 boys are mainly taught by their class teacher. From 9 upwards staff teach their specialist subjects and also take care of a form for pastoral matters.
The school has invested in new premises for all the junior sections of the school and has a well equipped Computer Room. DT Workshop and a large and busy new Music School. A new, spacious classroom block was opened in September 1995 and new well-equipped Science Laboratories in September 1996. There are spacious games fields within 5 minutes walk of the school. The main games played are rugby, football, cricket and athletics. There is a 25m indoor swimming pool. Clubs and activities are available to boys every day of the week and many take advantage of these opportunities to enrich their academic education.
From an early age boys are encouraged to set themselves good standards in their work and good academic results follow. Boys move to many different independent secondary boarding schools while an equal number go to London day schools. Between fifteen and twenty boys win scholarships to public schools every year. Recently both Art and Music scholarships have been a significant and welcome addition to these awards.
Entry is at various ages from three to eight, with occasional vacancies at nine, ten or eleven and all children are interviewed before the school makes the firm offer of a place. Several Bursaries are awarded annually to boys age 7 and 8 who reach the required standard but who would otherwise for financial reasons be unable to come to the school.
