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.

Curriculum Overview
In our Secondary section, students build a strong core of knowledge and skills in Key Stage 3 before tailoring their education to their unique interests in Key Stage 4. Year 9 marks a pivotal milestone in this journey. For the first two terms of the year, students continue to follow their Key Stage 3 curriculum. In Term 2, we provide students with dedicated support and guidance to help them make their final subject choices for the internationally recognised IGCSE examinations. Once these choices are finalised, students begin studying their new Key Stage 4 syllabus in Term 3.
