Curriculum

All pupils study English, Mathematics, Science, French, Spanish, Latin, History, Geography, Design Technology, Art, Drama, Music, Reading Skills, Religious Education, Physical Education, Swimming, Games and Personal, Social and Health Education.

As well as continuing the syllabus from Year 7, Science is taught as separate subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Pupils have an element of choice in their curriculum, choosing to pursue a range of subjects from language, creative and expressive disciplines.

Pupils start to build on individual strengths and interests, without limiting options for further study. The curriculum is still broad, but allows every pupil the chance to excel in their favourite subjects. Every pupil will study GCSE English Language, English Literature, Mathematics and either the Science Trilogy course (worth two GCSEs) or all three Sciences as separate subjects. There is also a morning or afternoon of Games each week. Building on their core timetable, pupils can choose 4 or 5 further options. In support of their various studies, pupils across the Senior School will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of school trips.
