Overview
Overview
Education, service and philanthropy are part of the John Lyon inheritance, linking Little Lyons, the Prep, Senior School and Sixth Form in one co-educational route. The foundation dates from 1876, while the senior journey remains day-only rather than residential. The all-through structure provides continuity before the fully co-educational Sixth Form, introduced in September 2025.
Years 10 and 11 include IGCSE English Language, English Literature, mathematics, sciences and History before A-level study. Students can take additional A levels at Harrow School. Learning support works alongside pastoral staff, with needs identified early across the Prep and Senior years, giving academic provision a deliberate relationship with the school's wider care structure.
Drama, music, sport, societies and community work sit beside the academic route, with Sudbury Fields supporting activity. Direct entry is available at Year 7, Year 9 and Lower Sixth, with assessment designed to consider ability and potential. Means-tested bursaries for new candidates at those points create a defined access route into the all-through structure.
