We promote an aspirational and evidence-based approach to teaching and learning, encouraging pupils to take risks and to value curiosity. The Senior School curriculum is designed to provide balance across a broad range of subjects and we are committed to ensuring that each pupil makes excellent academic progress.
In the first three years of Senior School, we offer a broad and balanced range of subjects, including the arts, humanities, languages, sciences and PE. From the very start of Year 7, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught as separate subjects. In Year 7, pupils experience taster courses in Mandarin, French, German, Spanish and Latin – they then choose two languages with which to continue in Years 8 and 9. Our pupils also enjoy a Design, Technology and Innovation course; a project based course which encourages them to consider solutions to real-world problems.
In Year 9, all students study a humanities programme, which incorporates the use of AI for learning as well as the development of other study skills, alongside developing knowledge of key cross-curricular topics.
At GCSE level, certain subjects – English Language and English Literature, Mathematics, at least one foreign language, and the Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics as separate subjects or Combined Science) – are compulsory. These are accompanied by ‘optional’ subjects and pupils can choose from Fine Art, Computer Science, Dance, Drama, Food and Nutrition, Geography, Graphics, History, Music, PE and Religious Studies
