Wrenn is a lucky school in two important ways. The first of these is our superb school environment, so beautifully captured in the wide photograph above this message. Our campuses contain buildings aged between 3 and 100 years old and, ancient or modern, our buildings are well-designed and well-kept, and contribute towards an enriching environment in which it is a pleasure to work and learn.

The second piece of good fortune is the nature of our students. Our clientele can justifiably be described as lively, courteous and receptive. We benefit hugely from the wide range of traditions from which our pupils come, and the variety of their talents, abilities and interests. Visitors frequently remark on the politeness and friendliness of our community – pupils and adults alike – and on the orderliness and good discipline around the school.Taken together, all these characteristics make Wrenn an exciting and captivating place in which to work and teach. It explains why we have been able to build up a skilled, well-qualified and hard-working team of teachers.

We see it as our mission to be demanding of our pupils, whatever their talents and abilities. We seek to stretch our pupils academically; we have high expectations of their conduct and attitudes towards others; and we encourage them to think well of themselves, to know that they are capable of excellence, and to aim high. Moreover, from being part of the diverse community that I have described, we believe that our students will emerge from their seven years with us with a special ‘edge’ that few other institutions can provide.
