Key Stage 3 (11 - 14 years)
In the Senior School we build on the firm foundations and good learning habits formed in the Preparatory School. We inherit inquisitive girls who respond well to the interactive learning environment offered. New pupils are warmly welcomed and quickly and easily become part of the school. Teaching methods, resources and ICT facilities are consistently updated in keeping with a 21st century education. Our small class sizes enable us to treat each pupil as an individual learner. Extension or support can be given to each girl whenever needed.
Regular testing and unobtrusive, ongoing monitoring ensure that girls continue to fulfil their potential. Regular written reports, progress reports and consultation evenings throughout the year are the means by which parents are kept fully informed of their daughter’s progress.
