Parent questions
Is Grade 5 where Common Entrance preparation begins?
We start earlier, but Grade 5 focuses on examination technique — timed practice and CBT formats to build confidence and speed.
What is the Young Entrepreneur challenge?
Students work in teams to create a business plan, design a product and pitch it — integrating maths, literacy and business ethics.
Parents ask themselves
Is the work pitched right for my child?
What happens if they are ahead — or behind?
Those are the right questions. Every page here is written to answer them plainly — and the admissions team will answer them in person on 07044000075.
The learning journey
“Sixteen class levels, one continuous arc — from a first morning to a university offer letter.”
How it works here
Known by name, taught by specialists.
Core work is reinforced under specialist supervision before the last bell, which is why children leave without a bag full of homework and still make progress.
Learning and evaluation happen together. Struggling learners get targeted support early; strong ones are stretched further.
Pastoral care is structural, not optional. Every child has an adult whose job is to notice.
