About the School:
A school committed to providing a high-quality, international education in a secure and supportive environment. With a strong focus on academic excellence and personal development, it prepares students for global opportunities through a diverse and challenging curriculum.
Key Stage 3: Year 7 to 9 (Age 11 to 14)
Key Stage 3 follows the English National Curriculum and all students will be expected to study the following subjects: Art, Drama, English, Geography, History, Computing, Mathematics, MFL (French, Arabic or Spanish), Music, Physical Education and Science.
At the end of Key Stage 3 (Year 9) students make their options for study at IGCSE / GCSE. At this point students reduce the number of subjects they wish to study.
Key Stage 4: Year 10 to 11 (Age 14 to 16)
The curriculum at Key Stage 4 leads to a two-year course of study leading to external International / General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE / GCSE) examinations. These courses are assessed and graded by coursework and external examination, set by Pearson Examinations (EDEXCEL) Board and Cambridge International Exam Board.
All students study the following compulsory courses: English language, English literature, at least two Science subjects, Mathematics, PE, and Life skills. It must be noted that PE and Life Skills do not lead to a formal qualification
In addition to the above, students make 6 option choices from the following subjects: Arabic (1st language speakers), Art, Biology, Business Studies, Computer Science, Chemistry, Drama, Geography, History, Mathematics, Arabic (MFL), French, Spanish, Music, Physical Education, Physics and Travel & Tourism. The combination of subjects studied as compulsory and those elected to be studied from the optional list, means that students study 9 subjects that lead to a formal qualification.
Key Stage 5: Year 12 to 13 (Age 16 to 18)
In our sixth form students have the option to choose two different pathways. The school currently offers the UK A Level or IBDP curriculum, in which students choose either pathway and then a set of subjects from the following:
English Literature, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Art/Visual Arts, Business, Economics, Geography, History, Psychology, Sports, Exercise and Health Science and Travel & Tourism. In addition to this all students undertake a CAS programme and either an EPQ (A Levels) or Extended Essay & Theory of Knowledge (IB).
Parents’ Evenings, Life Skills sessions and Careers Guidance help both students and families to make these important subject choices. Individual help can also be sought at the Careers office or with Heads of Key Stage.
Careers information involves face to face meetings as well as the use of interactive software and personality tests.
