Pupils are actively encouraged to pursue their own interests, whether intellectual, cultural, spiritual or physical, within and beyond the curriculum. The week runs from Monday to Friday with eight, minute periods each day, plus a morning break and regular sessions to catch up with tutors. A minute lunch break creates space for a wide range of societies and activities, catering for both casual and specialised interests, ranging from voluntary service, outdoor pursuits, current affairs, debating, philosophy, music, drama, Christian Union and sport to creative writing, magic, film-making and stand-up comedy.
All pupils also have one afternoon of games each week. In Years 9 to 11 which we refer to as our Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms , homework is set for every school day and normally takes about two hours.
Pupils in Years 12β13 Lower and Upper Eighth are encouraged to spend a minimum of 15 hours each week on homework and private study. Greater responsibility, independence and freedom are given in these final two years of school as students make their transition to adulthood. We offer a series of open days each year.
