Academic Qualifications

The curricululum

      The focus of our work revolves around the academic curriculum which follows and extends the National Curriculum to allow for a proper combination of breadth and specialisation. The College consists of five year groups split between upper and lower schools.

• Shell (13-14)
• Remove (14-15)
• Hundred (15-16)

• Lower sixth(16-17)
• Upper sixth(17-18)

      The College has a long tradition of providing a wider subject choice for pupils than many other schools in the country and over recent years we have been in the forfront of pioneering many modern curricular initiatives.

      We offer more than 20 subjects at A Level and there other examination courses availiable, including the oppertunity to embark on the study of an Oriental language.

      At GCSE pupils study 8 or 9 subjects, a core of which is compulsory, and there is a wide selection of optional subjects. All pupils also study a certificate course in Religious Education.

      Full details are set out in the annual information booklet, which is avaiable from the admissions department.
