The Senior School
The girls follow a broad common curriculum in Years 7 - 9 supported by a carefully considered homework programme. Details are set out in curriculum booklets - Years 7, 8, & 9, Years 10 & 11, and The Sixth Form. These booklets are available on request.
The girls are put into small tutor groups and the form tutor gets to know the girls quickly, monitors their academic progress and helps each girl to develop according to her needs and talents. Mathematics & French are set according to ability, but it is possible to move from one set to another easily. The majority of girls study 9 or 10 subjects for GCSE chosen from the wide range that is available. Non-examination Life Skills is studied. This comprises Health Education, Religious Education, Careers and Community Service. Sciences can be studied separately, leading to three certificates, or as a dual award leading to two certificates. French, German and Spanish are the School's modern languages. Physical Education plays an important part in the curriculum.
