Years 7-9

We offer pupils at this Key Stage a wide range of opportunities for teaching and learning and are keen to offer learning environments which are flexible and enriching and can be tailored to suit the needs of each class.

An afternoon of practical activities is arranged weekly for Years 7 and 8, which every pupil takes part in. These activities include skiing, rock climbing, cricket, tennis, art, golf and I.T. They are important in developing social relationships, providing pupils with challenges outside the classroom and introducing them to new opportunities.

Throughout Year 9, pupils are guided through the GCSE options selection process and this is something which we take a great deal of time and care over. We are flexible as possible, use a free choice system to begin with and consult parents and pupils extensively in order that a balanced and appropriate selection is made which suits the needs of each child.
