In Key Stage 3 (Years 7 and 8), students follow a balanced curriculum that is divided into three distinct strands. The Cambridge Core prepares students in subjects essential for their development and future. 
These are English, Maths, the Sciences, and ICT. The Foundation curriculum develops the students’ broader education in the arts, physical exercise, and the humanities, whilst the Global Student Development strand develops the whole child and their relation to the world around us. Our curriculum is cumulative and builds each year by extending concepts and ideas. In some subjects, streaming is used to support different learning styles. We promote well-being and look to create future leaders who are fully prepared emotionally and academically to study IGCSE.
