Curriculum                            

The curriculum has three aspects relating to the Lower School (Years 7 - 8) the Upper School (Years 9 - 11) and the 6th Form (Years 12 - 13). The Lower School offers a broad range of subjects leading to our own Common Entrance Achievement Awards at the end of Year 8.

The Upper School is engaged on a slightly smaller number of subjects but with a greater choice. The 6th Form offers a full range of 21 A level subjects.

The curriculum is also divided between academic and non-academic subjects.

The non-academic subjects are Philosophy, Drama, Music and Sports.
