Nationally celebrated as a centre for excellence, and repeatedly graded Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted (most recently for the school in 2019, and for the boarding provision in 2022), our school boasts a rich, 80-year history of supporting boys with Specific Learning and Language difficulties, and associated conditions, in realising successes far beyond their expectations, transforming their futures.
Whilst our academic results at GCSE, A Level and BTEC are consistently above the national average for all schools, the education experienced by More House students is much broader than exam syllabus prescription.
Many of our boys arrive with little self-confidence. As one community, we build pupils’ academic, creative, sport and social achievement. A wide curriculum of academic subjects is complemented by an inspiring extra-curricular programme, so that each boy is successful amongst his peers, and learns to recognise that success.
Building our students’ self-confidence and independence enables them to transform their lives, achieving remarkable academic success, and pursuing aspirational futures. For the majority this means continuing their education by progressing from our Sixth Form to universities, but others will move into industry-based learning or to other further education courses.
More House offers full boarding, weekly boarding and day places.
