10 British families I should say.

Leavers results don't take into account those children who move to private school before age 11 (I heard a number do leaving smaller class sizes at the top of BV).

Its worth nothing that the school is considered so good at Maths and English they are a national teaching centre for other teachers within the state system who go there from all over the country to study. I'm a Year 1 parent and have been nothing but extremely impressed so far.

Wow only 10 out of 29! Sounds like a vibrant international community.
But that's a very good point you are making Working mum that could explain a lot about private secondary transfers. Is Hwell less international than Belleville? (I do think continental Europeans would value less things like better sports facilities at a private secondary (which is one of the big differences with state secondary as per fionag's very good ppst)).
Also Hwell sends as many kids to Bolingbroke as Bville does so the difference is really about where the other pupils go to.
Anyway, all in it sounds like an amazing school!

For visiting the school we were told that it is not possible but they will have a ‘induction evening’ in June -not an official tour but still a better then nothing.
