Leadership and teamwork skills are built in through an engaging enrichment programme, including cross-curricular seminar programmes to prepare students for independent learning. A challenging residential programme develops resilience and launches the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh for all students in Year 9.
In addition, our bespoke, 'Ask better questions' programme develops each student's voice as they learn more about the interdisciplinary nature of the world around them and embark on their own project.
During Year 9, an experienced tutor team guides students in picking their Year 10 IGCSE subjects.
The ability to be versatile in a rapidly changing world is a quality that cannot be overstated.
