Approximately one third of the children proceed to boarding schools via the Common Entrance examination, in which the school has long had an unblemished record. Every year, a number of children proceed to boarding schools via academic Scholarship examinations. The local independent schools set their own competitive examinations, in which Å·ÃÀ×ÔÅÄ’s pupils likewise have a distinguished record, gaining academic awards every year through the schools’ entrance exams.
The children gain many awards to senior schools (167 leavers have gained 58 awards in the last three years). As well as academic scholarships, every year our children also gain Music, Art, Drama, Sport or All-Rounder awards. While this is a proud record, the school takes equal pride in the success of every child in reaching his or her chosen destination and in fulfilling his or her potential. The successes are understood not as the goal but as the happy side effect of our educational care.
