Awards and Recognition in 2025

Published by Bancroft's School on Monday 29th of December 2025

End of year round-ups can be misleading. They often suggest a sudden moment of success, when most progress in schools is slow, cumulative and built on attention to detail.

In 2025, Bancroft’s saw that steady work recognised more widely in several ways: national award wins, finalist status in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards, a “Very Good” rating in The Telegraph’s Best Value Private Schools list, and a rise in the Sunday Times Parent Power league tables.

None of this is what makes a school. But taken together, it offers a useful glimpse of what the Bancroft’s experience looks like in practice: high expectations, strong pastoral care, and a culture that supports pupils properly while encouraging them to aim high.
