Middle School
Our aim in the middle school is to create a safe, friendly and stimulating environment where our pupils can develop socially and academically. Much of our success derives from an appreciation of the unique strengths, learning styles and needs of our pupils. We have high expectations of each and every child, both in terms of effort and conduct. For many years we have nurtured confident, happy learners who go on to achieve significantly above the national average and are fully equipped for life beyond school.
Our approach to education is holistic and we seek to develop potential both inside and outside the class room. We offer rich opportunities for extra-curricular involvement and pupils will be able to develop their interests in the fields of sport, music, drama or the arts. There are frequent opportunities to compete or perform within the school as well as at public events beyond the school gates. We boast a number of pupils who have achieved notable artistic or sporting success within the wider community.
It has always been important for us to foster the kind of supportive and secure setting where pupils can explore and express their individuality. Our school is an environment in which our pupils can flourish without having to conform to the all too familiar stereotypes of many early teens. They are proud to work hard, demonstrate respect for peers and staff alike and are challenged at every step of the way. It is an environment where pupils are not afraid to challenge themselves as they know they will be supported.
