Middle School (Years 9–11)

In Middle School, comprising Years 9 to 11, pupils follow a broad and balanced curriculum designed to develop independent thinking, resilience, and collaboration.

This stage encourages students to explore their strengths, discover new interests, and take greater ownership of their learning.

Alongside academic study, pupils engage in a wide range of enrichment activities, including sports, the arts, and leadership opportunities, helping them grow personally as well as academically. Teachers provide tailored guidance to support each pupil’s development and to prepare them for examination pathways, ensuring they are confident and well-equipped for future success.

Middle School fosters a strong sense of community and responsibility, encouraging pupils to form lasting friendships, contribute to school life, and embrace challenges with curiosity and confidence. This combination of academic rigour and personal growth prepares pupils for a smooth transition to Sixth Form and beyond.
