Secondary

Our Secondary School curriculum for learners aged 11 to 18 years  is based on the English National Curriculum produced by the Department of Education (England). It is divided into Key Stages 3 (age 11 to 14 years), Key Stage 4 (age 14 to 16 years), and Key Stage 5 (age 17 to 18 years). The system is progressive, and each stage builds on the knowledge and skills taught previously.

To make an easy transition from their Primary career, most Year 7 students arrive at the beginning of the academic year having already experienced some ‘taster days’ in our Secondary School. Once settled, they benefit from a strong Library programme, in-class support, and a cross-curricular enrichment programme.
