In brief
Brand-new Eko Atlantic outpost of the 1567 Warwickshire school, opened September 2025 with a Year 7 and Sixth Form cohort and Dr Adam England as principal. Boarding follows in 2026.
Day and boarding for ages 11 to 18 on a fifty-thousand-square-metre campus inside Eko Atlantic, the reclaimed-land development off Victoria Island. Pearson Edexcel and the UK national curriculum, with A Levels at Sixth Form and the Rugby School Group brand behind it.
The first cohort is small and the school is still proving itself. Families who have signed up like the African-context framing the leadership has talked about, with Nigerian geography and African writers feeding into the standard British syllabus rather than a straight import. Fees and pastoral systems sit at the top of the Lagos market, and the cohort skews toward Nigerian families who would otherwise have sent children to UK boarding earlier. Judgement on academics waits on the first IGCSE and A Level results.
