Inspection

This private school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, not Ofsted. Its reports are at isi.net.

Results

The government does not publish comparable results for most independent schools (IGCSEs are left out of its measures), so none are shown here.

Getting a place

Open to all. There is no entrance test. As a Christian school it may put families of that faith first. Check the school's own admissions rules.

Each council publishes its own figures on how many families applied and how far away the last child to get a place lived. We are adding councils one at a time. If you have a link to Dorset council's admissions booklet, send it to us.
