Developing the individual
Every child is different, and we value each one in their own right. Our job is to find each child's particular strengths, help them grow, and build their confidence along the way, from Playgroup through to Class X.
A firm foundation
In the Lower School we set high expectations for every child, and many of our pupils work beyond what is expected for their age. They thrive on the range of what we teach.
The early curriculum concentrates on the basics: reading, writing and mathematics. Other subjects and topics come in as children master these skills.
Class teachers are supported by specialist teachers for physical education and Islamic education.
My children can't wait to come to school in the morning. They love their lessons and talk excitedly about what they've learnt during the day.
As children move up, we help them become more independent and self-assured. Every class teacher looks after the wellbeing of the children in their class, and we use everyday lessons to help children become responsible, caring citizens.
These are happy years. Children make friendships that last, and learn the habits that the rest of their schooling is built on.
Busy, varied days with specialist teachers
In the Middle School, specialist teachers teach a broad and varied curriculum. Every pupil studies the core subjects of Maths, English and Science. Days are full and challenging, and we encourage pupils to put in as much as they can so they get the most out of school.
Classes and tutor groups are small, so we get to know each pupil quickly and can support both their schoolwork and their personal development.
Good work and good behaviour earn certificates and house points, which reward effort as well as results. It isn't all classroom work: pupils also go on educational trips and visits.
Preparing for Class X and beyond
The Upper School combines a strong academic focus with close care for each pupil. There is a lot on offer inside and outside lessons, and we expect pupils to make full use of it.
We ask pupils to set themselves high standards, think for themselves, work well with others and take on leadership.
Regular assessment and monitoring give us an accurate picture of what each pupil needs, and we work closely with parents to support every child, both academically and personally.
Personal development matters here as much as exam results. Through co-curricular events and voluntary work, pupils learn to play their part in the wider community.
Admissions are open from March to August
Registration is open all year. Every new student sits a short entry assessment or interview, which helps us place them in the right class and support them from day one.
