Our close links with feeder primary schools and with our own
Junior School mean that we are able to provide a smooth transition
from Key Stage 2. All our pupils have an equal start: each of the
four forms has a similar timetable and there is no setting.
We provide a wide and balanced compulsory curriculum, the only
choice being which second foreign language -German, Latin or
Spanish - to choose in addition to French in Year 8. All aspects of
the National Curriculum are taught in lively and enjoyable ways
that allow for many different styles of learning. Pupils experience
a wide variety of sports, from Athletics to Gymnastics and
Lacrosse, as well as an exciting selection of short courses in
Technology such as Computer Graphics, Electronics and Resistant
Materials.
Personal, Social and Health Education sessions are varied and
interesting, covering issues such as Healthy Eating and
Organisation (Year 7); Bullying and Smoking (Year 8) and Human
Rights and Relationships (Year 9). We also offer an impressive
range of extra-curricular
activities such as Sport, Music, Drama and numerous clubs and
societies. In addition, private music lessons on a wide
selection of instruments are available during the school day.
