Set for success
Our leavers have great success in getting into selective independent and grammar schools at both Year 6 and Year 11. Most of our Year 11 leavers go on to study for A-levels at grammar, selective independent schools or high-performing sixth-form colleges.
They do so armed not only with strong GCSE results and passion for their chosen academic subjects, but also with confidence and leadership skills after their top of school experience as Year 11 prefects. Recent destinations, for example, have included:
St Bernard’s
Burnham Grammar
Upton Court Grammar
Langley Grammar
In recent years our Year 6 pupils have secured scholarships to prestigious independent schools such as:
The Abbey
Hampton
Wellington
Millfield
Others have been successful in their 11+ and gained places at excellent local grammar schools such as:
Langley
Herschel
Upton Court
Burnham
However, a good number of our Year 6 pupils choose not to leave as they and their parents realise the advantages of remaining in the Long Close community where every child is known and valued.
Whether in the run-up to Year 6 or Year 11, we offer a wealth of advice and experience to our pupils and parents as they consider the range of options open to them.
Destination Schools
We are immensely proud of our pupils
Notably, an impressive 100% of our pupils secured admission to their desired post-16 destinations. Among them, an impressive 78% will continue their educational journey in selective grammar schools, including prestigious institutions like St Bernard's, Burnham Grammar, Upton Court Grammar, and Langley Grammar.
As a school situated in a highly selective area, these exceptional results underscore our position as a school committed to continuous improvement. Our journey towards becoming the number one school of choice for our local community is evident. The motto "We aim for higher things" resonates with us, and all our pupils truly rise to the occasion.
