Secondary School Curriculum

In Year 9, our educators actively prepare students for achievement in international examinations. Our High School curriculum is the same in content and structure as the UK National Curriculum delivered in secondary schools across England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

However, it is adapted to meet the needs of an international student community. Our students are inspired to thrive with a programme that offers broad, engaging, and immersive pre-IGCSE study. National Curriculum subjects include English, Maths, Science, Modern Foreign Languages, Art, Humanities, and Sports.

In Years 10 and 11, students undertake the IGCSE curriculum, a two-year Cambridge International accredited course that culminates in end-of-year examinations and coursework assessments. At this level, students study a core curriculum of English, Maths, Science, and a Modern Foreign Language alongside optional IGCSE subjects. A typical IGCSE timetable includes practical lessons, regular excursions, after-school activities, inquiry-based classes, and pastoral tutorials.

Common Examination

Secondary years students undertake assessments in English, Mathematics and Science at various stages to monitor pupil standards and ensure learning objectives are met. In addition, children sit a major assessment at the end of Year 8 to mark the transition to Secondary School at age 13+.

The Common examination allows us to track individual progression and ensure members of our Primary School community are equipped with the skills needed in High School.

Extracurricular Activities at our Secondary School

High School learners may participate in an exciting selection of social activities, clubs, and sports teams. Our High School Extracurricular Activities Programme is led by passionate specialists, some of whom are external providers. Additional activities enrich the High School experience by reinforcing in-class lessons, and encouraging young adults to identify and develop their talents. Student leadership positions are also encouraged to foster responsibility, organisation, and management skills to help prepare pupils for university.
