The School is academically selective within a deliberately broad framework. Top performing pupils work towards scholarships and exhibitions while we also provide full support to those with mild to moderate Specific Learning Difficulties. Boarding at Culford can begin from age 7, and a tight knit community of some 50 children are based at the Prep School boarding house, where there are separate dormitories for boys and girls with common rooms and lounges where children can play and relax.

As well as the normal retail outlets, the area contains the Apex Centre, a venue that offers theatre and live music of all sorts regularly. The town is home to a number of independent retailers, craft pubs, breweries and restaurants. As well as a multiplex cinema, there is also an Art House cinema that shows an eclectic range of movies which can be watched with wine or beer and from the comfort of a sofa; and the town also boasts a lovingly restored Regency theatre.
