Leavers' Destinations
Where Our Pupils Go NextEvery year our Year 6 pupils move on to senior schools across London and Hertfordshire — grammar, independent and local alike. Here is where they went, year by year.
A record we are proud of
Vita et Pax is a small school, and that is precisely the point. Because we know every child individually, we can prepare each one for the senior school that genuinely suits them — not simply the school with the best-known name. Our leavers go on to highly selective independent and grammar schools, and to excellent local schools, according to what is right for the child and the family.

Senior schools attended by our Year 6 leavers, listed by the year they left. We name schools only — never our pupils.
How we prepare them
Senior school preparation at Vita et Pax is deliberate, personal and unhurried. It begins in Year 5, not with cramming, but with an honest conversation about each child.
-
Individual guidance from Year 5
We sit down with parents to discuss each child's strengths, temperament and interests, and to build a realistic, ambitious list of senior schools worth targeting.
-
Focused 11+ preparation
Verbal and non-verbal reasoning, mathematics and English are taught within the school day, alongside the wider curriculum — never at the expense of it.
-
Practice under exam conditions
Pupils sit mock papers in proper conditions so that the real examination day feels familiar rather than daunting.
-
Interview and confidence coaching
Many senior schools interview. We rehearse it, so our pupils walk in able to talk about themselves with warmth and confidence.
-
Support through to offers
We help with registrations, deadlines and references, and stay alongside families through offers, waiting lists and appeals.
