Other features

All-through school (for example 3-18 years). - An all-through school covers junior and senior education. It may start at 3 or 4, or later, and continue through to 16 or 18. Some all-through schools set exams at 11 or 13 that pupils must pass to move on.

Special Education Needs

We offer a broad and challenging curriculum that enables pupils to achieve their potential in all areas, and caters for their individual abilities, needs and interests. Our Learning Enrichment Department in the Junior School recognises individuality and supports pupils, parents and staff by offering children differentiated support and specialist learning provision as required; all children are given opportunities to become independent learners through reinforcement and stretched to maximise achievement and reach their personal best. Similarly, at the Senior School, alongside an emphasis on differentiation in the classroom, there is a range of additional provision for those at either end of the academic spectrum. For those who have specific learning difficulties, along with individualised educational plans for support in the classroom, there are individual lessons available from the Curriculum Support Department to improve, for example, literacy and study skills. In addition there are a number of programmes providing group support outside the classroom; for example, Springboard for pupils who need a boost to academic self-confidence; lunch-time activities such as spelling club and handwriting club; and workshops on anxiety and keeping positive in exams. For those at the other end of the academic spectrum there is provision for the gifted and talented within our Elite Performer Programme.
