SENIOR SCHOOL CURRICULUM

FUTURE READY

Our educational approach blends tradition with innovation. We maintain a broad, well-balanced curriculum and an excellent enrichment programme to develop the whole pupil, while also providing opportunities to cultivate the skills needed for an ever-changing world.

Senior School Curriculum

STEAM POWERED

Our innovative STEAM approach emphasizes nurturing pupils’ creative talents while developing skills in design thinking, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, leadership, and resilience.

As part of a vibrant interdisciplinary curriculum, STEAM bridges practical and academic learning, equipping pupils with the skills and mindset needed for the evolving workforce. It harnesses technology and the sciences to prepare pupils for the demands of the future.

STEAM themes are explored across Art, Textiles, Design Technology, Food Science, Animation, and Computational Programming and Coding.

My son is happy at school and is excelling in all subjects. He receives the support he needs to be the best that he can be.

GCSE Options

ENSURING A BROAD AND BALANCED APPROACH

In Year 9, we work with pupils and parents to select GCSE subjects, offering guidance to align choices with individual abilities and ambitions while keeping future options open.

Pupils choose three GCSE subjects alongside compulsory English (Language and Literature), Mathematics, and Science (double award, with Separate Science optional). Weekly PE and PSHE sessions are also compulsory.

FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES

The Mathematics Department also offer the opportunity to study Further Mathematics and/or Statistics.

Pupils who wish to take PE as a GCSE subject, will need to select it as one of their three GCSE option choices.

From September 2023, we now offer a Business GCSE course.
