Future Skills

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

Future Skills (Years 3 to 6)  

Pupils within Years 3 to 6 progress to our ‘Future Skills’ programme, which covers a range of modules including:

  • Problem Solving
  • Philosophical Enquiry
  • Independent Study
  • General Knowledge
  • Communication
  • Integrated Task Module – combines each of the above modules into one combined task

Offering Opportunities Inside and Outside the Curriculum

The Future Skills programme offers opportunities to our students, both within and outside the curriculum that go over and above those that may be available elsewhere. We believe offering students the chance to develop their skills in a wide range of topics provides stretch and challenge to their education at School, whilst arming them with an array of valuable tools that can be exercised both now and into the future.

The varied content and practical nature of lessons has served to engage the children, cementing its place as a firm favourite within the Prep curriculum.

Students progress onto our ‘Beyond the Curriculum’ in Years 7 and 8 in Seniors.
