Leaver destinations

St Ives is a truly independent school and prides itself on preparing its pupils for a wide range of senior schools, both locally and beyond. Typically, these include local popular choices such as Guildford High School, Churcher's College, RGS Guildford, St Catherine’s, Seaford College, Prior's Field, Cranleigh School, Tormead and Aldro. Further afield, girls have gone to Queenswood, Roedean and Sherborne.

Senior school scholarships are often awarded to pupils at St Ives and we are always delighted by the positive feedback we receive about our children and how well they are prepared for life at senior school. 

As part of the United Learning family, St Ives offers eligible pupils a direct entry route to Guildford High School. This optional pathway provides families with an additional route to one of the region's leading independent schools, offering greater certainty as they plan for senior school. Pupils who receive an offer through the direct entry pathway do not need to complete the standard Year 6 admissions process for Guildford High School

This provides an additional option for families considering Guildford High School while sitting alongside the many other senior school opportunities available to our pupils.

Our independence means we remain committed to supporting every family in choosing the school that best matches their child's talents, interrrests and aspirations.
