Whilst we are justifiably proud of the academic achievements of our pupils we are careful not to confuse assessment with education.

We know, because the Government’s own futurologists have told us so, that seven out of ten future jobs for the pupils in our school today have not yet been invented! This suggests that an education system based solely on skills and academic intelligence is not going to be enough. Our children need to learn to interact with each other; they need to learn to listen, to adapt and to create. 

Every child and every parent at Austin Friars benefits from the very best that independent education can offer because we are free to innovate and inspired to care.
