Description:

The School enjoys an enviable reputation in the field of academic excellence and prides itself on providing a disciplined, caring environment in which each pupil can develop his talents to the fullest potential. Inter-school fixtures, sport, music, debating and drama are just a few of the many fields in which pupils are encouraged to participate.

Within the state sector, both the school’s GCSE and Advanced Level results place it amongst some of the most successful schools in the country. The last full OFSTED inspection report (October 2008) stated that ‘Ermysted’s Grammar School is an outstanding school. Students enter the school with well above average standards of attainment and this is maintained throughout Key Stages 3 and 4. Standards in the Sixth Form are exceptionally high.’

Nearly all our Year 11 students continue into further education, the vast majority remaining at Ermysted’s in order to study for Advanced Level qualifications. In addition, every year up to 20 boys join the Sixth Form from other schools. Over 95% of students eventually proceed to prestigious universities each year. Following the publication of A Level results last August seven pupils had their offers confirmed at Oxford or Cambridge.
