Senior Department (Years 7-11)In Years 7-11 we follow a broad-based, balanced curriculum incorporating academic subjects, art music, games and PE. Small classes permit a high level of individual attention and support, which combined with close monitoring of progress provide pupils with outstanding GCSE results. Pupils will study 8-10 GCSE subjects; all pupils will be aiming for top grades across the curriculum. We involve our pupils in a varied programme of educational and cultural trips, both local and abroad. Participation in the
local community is developed through visitors and speakers to the school, and involvement in local projects and competitions.
We provide a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities are a fortunate in having contact with both local schools and other independent schools for sporting fixtures and competitions. We are a busy and lively community.
We aim to educate the whole child by developing confidence, a sense of responsibility and self-worth. All pupils play a valued part in the school community, and are encouraged to develop
their awareness of the wider world. A programme of Personal Social and Moral Education (PSME) is followed in all Years, and extended to include Careers and Citizenship guidance in Years 9 to 11.
Discipline within the school is based upon clear expectations of behaviour linked to a pastoral framework. The small family atmosphere of the school enables us to give each pupil our close attention,
with the support of parents, our partners in education.
Our kind and caring community provides the best environment for fulfilling your child's potential.

We are also very proud of the Year 10 pupils who took some GCSE subjects a year early and achieved 90% A and A* grades. Special mention should be made of Gareth Williams, Year 10, who gained all A's and A*'s in his subjects, English Literature, German and ICT.Mrs Carol Clint, at the end of her first year of headship at the school, said "I am very pleased with such good results. With our small classes, hardworking staff and our commitment as a school to maintain our independence I am looking forward to further successes in future years".
