Senior School Successes of our 2024 Graduates

92% of our 2024 Year 6 pupils achieved a place at their first choice secondary school

86% pass rate for grammar school 11+ (Year 6 of 2024)

Multiple scholarships offered for academic, music, sport and Art & Design to a variety of secondary schools (Year 6 of 2024)

78% achieved the highest grade of 'Greater Depth' in their SATS tests for reading, writing and maths compared to national average of 8% (Year 6 of 2023 - most recent available figures)

A key ethos of Waverley is to ensure that our Year 6 ‘graduates’ secure places at the right secondary school for them. There are significant differences between secondary schools in terms of ethos, teaching methods and culture. At Waverley, we believe that in order for each student to develop to their full potential, they secure a place at the school which will best advance and develop their individual skillsets.

86% of our pupils passed the 11+ (grammar school) exam. (Year 6 leaving in 2024)
Over recent years, there has also been an increasing trend for our students to select boarding for their secondary education. We are proud that our pupils possess the confidence and independence to make this step and venture further afield as they move on from Waverley.
