In the first three years of Senior School, your daughter studies English, Maths and Science, Languages, History, Geography, Religious Education, a range of Arts and Technology subjects and Physical Education.

Towards the end of Year 9, your daughter chooses the options she wishes to pursue at GCSE level, in addition to a compulsory core of English, English Literature, Mathematics, Religious Education, Science and Additional Science.

Your daughter selects up to four additional subjects to study from a wide range of optional subjects – French, German, Italian, Geography, History, Art, Design Technology (Graphics or Resistant Materials), Music, Food Technology, Drama, ICT and PE.

Your daughter’s progress throughout the Senior School is assessed and closely monitored by teachers using a variety of classroom assessment and formal tests. You receive regular reports on her progress and achievement through a combination of written reports and parent/teacher consultation evenings.
