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
six 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.
Personal, Social and Health Education is delivered by form
tutors and provides an extra opportunity to develop relationships
within the tutor group. 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 Art as well as
numerous clubs, societies and visits. In addition, private
music lessons on a wide selection of instruments are available
during the school day.
