The spacious and exciting playground area is enjoyed by all year groups and includes an outside classroom, an adventure playground (opened in 2025) and an area for gardening club to grow seeds and encourage wildlife.

Assessment mornings are held in November of the year prior to entry, comprising written papers in English (creative writing with elements of spelling and grammar), a mathematics paper, a computer-based verbal and non-verbal reasoning assessment, a group music/drama activity and an informal interview.
Occasional places. Small waiting lists are maintained for occasional places at other entry points. Each candidate is assessed in relation to his age, with younger boys typically taking part in a more informal assessment process.
