Admissions
Admittance to the school is by entrance exam, taken at the age of 11. 96 pupils (all boys who have managed to pass the exam) enter the school in September each year. There are 96 pupils in each year group, except in sixth form where there are currently (2012) 133 in As level (6.1) and 113 in A Level(6.2). There is further intake for sixth form; the school receives applications from pupils attending schools around the borough, and at this stage of the school, girls are also admitted. Nearby Queen Mary's High School is the destination for girls aged 11 passing the entry exam. Despite expansion, it is still small by modern standards, with about 719 pupils, while the sixth form consists of well over two hundred students.
