The curriculum across our Seniors is broad and varied.  It is designed to stimulate and challenge all students, ensuring excellent academic achievement and embedding learning skills that will hold them in good stead for the future.

 

Academic Success

We strongly believe that academic success cannot be measured by league tables alone but by a child's confidence in their own success.  

Our academic standards are high and rigorous enabling thorough testing of skills and knowledge throughout a term with Common Tasks, so called because every child in the specific year group sits the same assessment (one per term per subject) providing strong feedback for parents, teachers and learners alike.

Our school day is structured to maximise learning with one hour lessons.

We aim to stretch all students to achieve far beyond their own expectations, proving that they can do their absolute best given all the opportunities we offer.
