Academics

A curriculum with backbone

Beyond the timetable

Speech, current affairs and the habit of a clear argument.

Science club

Practical curiosity beyond the timetable, led from the laboratory.

Sports houses

Gold, Navy, Ivory and Laurel β€” athletics, football and march-past.

Choir and cultural dance

Assembly music, Speech and Prize Day, and the school’s own songs.

Assessment

How we measure progress

Each term, students complete continuous assessment (40 marks) and a terminal examination (60 marks). Reports are published on this website with the child’s admission number and result PIN.
