Students follow a full curriculum designed to enhance their intellectual development rapidly. This includes everything from core subjects to creative and exploratory activities, all delivered through expert and inventive teaching.

We are committed to providing a well-rounded education that balances academic rigour with opportunities for students to grow socially and emotionally. Through participation in clubs, societies, and special events, our pupils learn to collaborate, communicate, and develop leadership skills in a supportive and engaging environment. Societies are created and run by students and offer sessions, lunchtime meetings, and activities led by society leaders, tailored to our junior school students, allowing them to take ownership of their interests and develop a sense of responsibility.
The extra-curricular programme also includes activities that connect students with the wider community, fostering a sense of responsibility and global citizenship.
