The Curriculum

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

Personalised Learning and Small Class Sizes

Our broad A Level curriculum, including subjects highly valued by Russell Group universities and the option to complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), gives students the knowledge, skills and confidence to stand out in competitive university and career pathways.

Small classes and a personalised, tutorial-style approach mean every student is known, challenged and supported. Specialist teachers inspire intellectual curiosity, nurture individual strengths and develop the independence needed to succeed beyond school.

Success looks different for every student. Whether progressing to a leading university, a degree apprenticeship or a specialist pathway in the arts, sciences or beyond, our Sixth Form empowers young people to pursue their ambitions with confidence, resilience and purpose.
