Located on the border between North-East London and Essex and backing on to Epping Forest, Bancroft’s is a co-educational independent day school for around 1200 pupils from 7 to 18.
Our pupils achieve outstanding academic outcomes. In 2024, 75% of all entries were awarded A*- A at A Level and 77% were awarded the top grades of 9 or 8 at GCSE with 49% at 9.
We strive to achieve so much more than just results. ‘Being Bancroft’s’ is the name which we give to our holistic approach to developing our pupils. This is a rounded educational framework running through the school which guides pupils to take full advantage of the huge range of different opportunities on offer at the school; whether immersed in academic research, being out on the sports fields, taking part in charitable activities, acting on the stage, playing music or attending some of our numerous clubs and societies, we want our pupils to challenge themselves and learn by taking part wholeheartedly in school life. All teachers are expected to contribute to the co-curricular life of the school beyond their subject specialism.
Bancroft’s is a warm, forward-looking, modern school; a centre of excellence for the twenty-first century. We have a very diverse intake of pupils, valuing inclusivity of pupils and staff of different ethnicities, religions, sexualities, genders, learning needs and strengths. We value inclusion for all it can bring to each of us at Bancroft’s as well as the school as a whole.
Professional development and training is a fundamental part of working at Bancroft’s. Our staff are supported and encouraged to continually reflect on their practice; together we want to ensure that each member of staff feels that they are being developed and able to help provide the very best educational and transformative experience for all our pupils.
