Preparing all pupils for a fulfilling and successful future.

At the Senior School, we specialise in finding the best in every pupil and place equal value on cultural, technological, scientific, linguistic and creative subjects.

We pride ourselves on putting our pupils first seeking to ensure that their talents and abilities are nurtured and encouraged to flourish in an environment of support and appreciation.

Curriculum Subjects

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is an important part of the curriculum. Within these lessons pupils will cover topics on Health and Wellbeing, Careers, Relationships, Living in the Wider World and Celebrating Difference.

Relationship and Sex Education (RSE)

Our RSE provision will give students the information they need to help them develop healthy, nurturing relationships of all kinds, not just intimate ones. Learn more about our PSHE and RSE programme:

Year 9 Options

Throughout Year 9, pupils will also start to consider their future with career lessons. At the end of the academic year, pupils will discuss their options with the Head of Year and plan which subjects to continue with to GCSE level, throughout Years 10 and 11 (KS4).

There are six compulsory core subjects that will continue to be part of the curriculum such as Mathematics, English, Core modern Foreign Language and GCSE Double Science. Pupils then study their additional four chosen options – gaining 9 GCSE’s in total. Pupils also benefit from PSHE, Games and Careers Guidance although these are not examined.

Following consultations with pupils and staff, an option pattern will be issued from which pupils must then choose their option subjects.

Subject Options

Grading System
