Senior School Learning
Senior School Learning
In First and Second Forms, pupils study a broad range of subjects with cross-curricular links that strengthen skills and habits for the exam years ahead. In Third Form, focus turns to GCSE preparation: pupils make initial subject choices and benefit from flexible timetabling that supports a personalised set of qualifications. We offer a wide range of GCSE subjects and value a firm grounding across disciplines: ambition paired with breadth to ensure future success.
"A spectacular learning environment"
The Sixth Form
Most students take three A Levels with the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ); some choose four A Levels, while others opt for the Extended Diploma in Business (equivalent to three A Levels), or the Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Business alongside A Level PE. With 23 A Level options and a flexible curriculum, students can follow interests and pursue individual ambitions.
Plentiful enrichment opportunities across Lower Sixth Electives, the Skills Carousel, Study Skills, the Enlightenment Lectures, among a host of others ensure a stimulating Sixth Form experience that connects subjects to the wider world.
Research and Scholarship
Academic Scholarships recognise pupils who show ambition, perseverance, scepticism in the face of certainty, and enthusiasm for learning. The annual Scholars’ Journal shares original research by Scholars in the Senior School and Sixth Form, showcasing independent exploration and broad intellectual curiosity.
