Seniors Curriculum

Sunday Times Schools Guide 2025 - Independent Secondary School of the Year North West

Students achieve excellent examination results but it is their intellectual curiosity and preparing them to have an impact in life that holds the key to their success. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that goes beyond statutory requirements.

In Years 9 and 10 students can tailor their studies according to their individual strengths and future career plans and students start working towards GCSEs and IGCSEs in selected subjects from Year 9.
