all boarders come from overseas, representing thirty-eight countries. Nationally standardised test data provided by the school indicate that the ability of the senior school is above average and broadly
average in the sixth form. The school has identified 74 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities of whom 45 receive additional support, predominantly with dyslexia. No pupil in
