At SPS, it is of great importance to us that pupils go on to seek and seize all the opportunities that secondary education has to offer.

For the academic year 2024/25, our leavers received a total of 31 offers, including four scholarships, awards or exhibitions at selective independent schools. Pupils went on to Bancroft’s, Brentwood, City of London, Chigwell, and Forest.

The offers break down as follows, with numbers in brackets indicating academic awards:

Bancroft’s – 7 (including 2 academic awards)

Brentwood – 4

City of London – 1

Chigwell – 9 (including 3 academic awards)

Forest – 10 (including 3 academic awards)

Because of our intimate class sizes, these results are very specific to each cohort.

Over the past seven years, the ratio of pupils sitting to offers received at Bancroft’s, Chigwell and Forest has been approximately 75%, 77%, and 83% respectively. On average, each pupil has received two independent school offers.

What matters most, however, is that each child becomes the best version of themselves. Examination results are a by-product of an excellent, broad and balanced curriculum. Whilst we put a huge amount of work into ensuring that our teaching from EYFS to Year 6 equips pupils for success in Year 7, these outcomes are ultimately a credit to our pupils and their families.
