Almost all are of white heritage backgrounds and very few have a home language other than English. Families in the area have ready access to a range of selective and comprehensive schools. One in ten pupils, lower than national figures, has learning difficulties and disabilities. Numbers in the sixth form are increasing rapidly. Pupils that do not pass the 11+ go to The Cottesloe however more and more pupils that do pass are choosing to to the school.
