Who we are

The Lower School comprises year groups of 9, 10 and 11 from the ages of 13 through to 16. 

Students are encouraged to explore their talents whether in the classroom, in sports, music, dance, technology, art or drama. 

At the heart of our curriculum is a strong emphasis on teaching and learning.  We want our students to be involved, inspired, challenged and curious about the world around them.  We expect them to do their best and likewise we expect the same commitment from our staff - the integral partnership is the key to success.
