School Organisation

 

  

 

 

The School is organised in three phases:

  • Primary – Reception to Year 4
  • Middle – Year 5 to Year 8
  • Senior – Year 9 to Year 13.

Students are admitted to Year Groups based on their age at the start of the academic year.  Exceptionally, students entering an external exam course may be asked to join the School one Year Group below the Year identified by the table below.

Years 12 and 13 are known as the Sixth Form.

The School is working towards having two classes per Year Group.

The School offers a broad curriculum experience to support the development of 21st Century learning skills and provides time for our senior students to study for the assessed examinations offered by Cambridge International Education; IGCSEs and A-Levels.  In addition, the School is reviewing the demand for vocational qualifications by some students and their parents.
