Middle School – Year 10

We offer a very inclusive approach to education. We are academically ambitious for each and every pupil, and we expect everyone to do well but we also recognise that some pupils learn differently to others. It’s vitally important to get to know how every child achieves their best and what motivates them. Through our flexible, bespoke curriculum and highly skilled teachers we then adjust our teaching accordingly, adapting what we do in the classroom so that everyone succeeds.Active learningGiving pupils agency for their own learning and personal development is an important aspect of our approach. They embrace their own responsibilities under the careful guidance of their highly qualified and dedicated teachers.In Year 10, pupils focus on the things they enjoy most, to develop deeper levels of skill and understanding, setting the stage for their onward life journey. Pupils take more responsibility for their progress, and work with greater independence as they build the foundations for their future study. Our school succeeds in combining academic ambition with a wealth of socially and emotionally enriching opportunities, all underpinned by a deep commitment to the individual needs and enthusiasms of each child. Our House system is fundamental to personal growth, reliance and wellbeing. It puts every child at the centre of a network of care and support where every pupil feels cared for in both academic and personal matters. Every member of staff within this network shares the approach that good education is rooted in kindness and respect. We are not a hothouse. Instead, we achieve academic diversity and excellence through nurturing, supporting and empowering our pupils and developing in them a lifelong passion for learning.
