Frequently Asked Questions:​

​

If I live further away from the school will I still be offered a place?

Hugh Christie does not have a catchment area. Most of our places are offered by distance and sibling links. Traditionally parents who have wanted a place at Hugh Christie have managed to secure one even from further distances.

​

Our child has passed the Eleven Plus, but we want a mixed school for them to attend. What can Hugh Christie offer?

Hugh Christie offers a programme for able and talented students - details can be accessed here. We use ability setting to ensure students are taught in the most appropriate grouping. Our Sixth Form provides a clear academic route for all students. In 2020, our highest-performing student achieved four A* grades. Our most able students secure places at the best Universities in the country including Imperial College and the LSE.
