"The vast majority of pupils successfully gain places at the universities and/or colleges of their choice, principally in the fields of arts and humanities. This is due to a combination of factors: excellent, highly skilled, and specialised teaching, highly motivated attitudes to learning and well-targeted preparation."
ISI Inspection, 2020
