The Archant Good Schools Show

We were delighted to be invited to speak at The Archant Good Schools Show at Olympia over the weekend. The two day exhibition is an opportunity for parents and students to explore their school options.

Andrew Gillespie, one of our Director of Studies, gave a talk on the A level system to visitors, explaining the strengths of the system, developments such as the A* grade and new opportunities such as the AQA Baccalaureate. Other speakers included Jim Hawkins, the new Headmaster of Harrow, outlining the importance of the independent sector, Tony Little, Headmaster of Eton College, discussing bursaries and Alice Phillips, Headmistress of St Catherine’s School in Bramley, explaining the merits of A level compared to other sixth form qualifications.
