It offers the best of both worlds – the strong academic focus of a grammar school underpinned by all the clear advantages of a first-class independent education. A flexible and dynamic concept, the THS Grammar Plus Programme is comprehensive and broad, and includes an Oxbridge/Russell Group Pathway Programme developed to prepare students for top-flight higher education, along with a multitude of exciting new academic and enrichment opportunities.
The next THS Grammar Plus intake is into Year 7 in September 2025. The initial admissions dates have passed.
Assessments for late admissions can be arranged on an ad-hoc basis by contacting our Admissions team.
