The curriculum consolidates previous learning and introduces new subjects such as Spanish, Japanese and the Sciences as separate subjects. Learning goes far beyond the classroom.

Subjects are brought to life with experiences and trips which provide pupils the opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in real situations. Whether it is debating in our Courtroom re-enactment, taking part in the half-termly expedition days, mentoring the younger pupils in English, or undertaking the duties of Prefects and Head Boy and Girl – every experience is designed to engage pupils and develop their soft skills as well as technical and academic abilities.

A Typical School Day

Registration starts at 8.15am. Lunch is an hour long, and year groups have lunch at staggered sittings, starting from 12.30pm. In three out of five afternoons during the week, pupils take part in a physical activity as part of our Games programme, which includes competitive fixtures, PE and swimming lessons. The day ends at 4.30pm, although many pupils stay for supervised homework sessions until 5.30pm.
