IGCSE and IB Diploma and BTEC
Students in Years 9-11 work towards their IGCSE. Our Sixth Form, Years 12 and 13, offers the IB Diploma Programme, along with the BTEC Level2 Business Qualification For students with additional needs we offer the ASDAN qualifications.
Mandarin (EYFS, Primary and Secondary school, GCSE, IBDP) French (Secondary school and GCSE, IBDP) Spanish (GCSE, IBDP)
We have onsite Educational Psychologist, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapists and Physiotherapist.
Our Learning Pathway programmes start in Nursery from the age of 3 and continue all the way through school until the students are 18 years old. The curriculum is closely aligned to the English National Curriculum but with appropriate adaptions made to meet the needs of the individual student. We offer personalised routes for students who are unable to meet the outcomes expected for GCSE and the IBDP, where the students either sit fewer exams or follow routes that focus on English, maths, life skills and employability, through the ASDAN curriculum.
Students who do not speak English as their first language can access additional support through our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme up to, and including, Year 9. English levels are measured by using assessments that link to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) so that we can best meet the needs of each student. The students are assessed in their speaking, listening, reading and writing proficiency in English and the scores determine the level of support needed.
8:30 – 15:00
We offer school lunches through an external caterer.
