At times like these, congratulations need to be extended in a variety of directions. The invaluable support of a truly professional and motivated teaching team who, in working as a team, have guided pupils through a myriad of selection and opportunity in finding the right courses and locations for them; the relentless and ongoing support of parents in communicating proactively with representatives of the School and, most importantly, for allowing the School to bring out the very best in their children academically; and finally, of course, to the pupils who in persevering to achieve their set goals have learned lessons in humility, independence in learning and research, vital soft skills in communication and the importance in trusting others and working as a team.

These offers, though incomplete, secure the School’s reputation for excellence in preparing pupils for further education all around the world, building upon and complementing the wonderful successes of pupils studying at Wellington College in the UK.
