Secondary Education

Cultivating Excellence

We recognise that every child is capable of outstanding achievement. All of our schools provide safe, happy learning environments which celebrate and promote the production of beautiful work.

High aspirations, hard work and quality first teaching ensure that achievement remains at the very core of our provision for each and every school. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to inspire learners and change lives as a result of our exceptional educational provision.

Our secondary schools combine traditional values and strong discipline with the very best modern teaching and technology. We follow a broad and balanced curriculum with a wide range of extracurricular activities and experiences.

Key features of our secondary education provision include:

  • Well-trained, highly resourced teachers who are ambitious for every student
  • Close tracking and monitoring of individual student progress
  • Focus on core subjects; English, Mathematics and Science
  • Targeted intervention and support, either in small groups or on a one-to-one basis for students who need it
  • Pastoral care of the highest order, engaging parents fully with their child’s education
  • Regular communication with parents supported with termly reporting
