Beyond St John's
​
As part of the Merchant Taylors’ Educational Trust, there is a strong tradition of pupils from St John’s going on to Merchant Taylors’ and every year many boys are successful in gaining places and indeed scholarships.
​
​
​
Some pupils take up places at Haberdashers’, Harrow, Berkhamsted, St Albans, Aldenham, Mill Hill and John Lyon. Occasionally a boy will go on to Westminster, City of London, St Paul’s, Eton or a country boarding school. Some boys gain 11+ places at other local schools.
​
​
Below are recent 13+ destination schools with most pupils gaining places at their first choice school:
