We’re delighted to announce for the second year in a row, we’ve been shortlisted for Independent School of Year – Best International Student Experience 2025!
We’re also celebrating the best-ever A level Results, with an outstanding 86% of all results being awarded the top A-A* grades, and over half of students achieving AAA or better. This comes in a year where we welcomed our largest-ever graduating cohort, 25% bigger than last year.
We will have a Welcome Zoom meeting for you to meet our Admissions, Academic and Boarding team in June 2026 and will send you the details in April. If you have any questions at all before (no question is too small!) please contact us at admissions@natmatsci.ac.uk.
