Harrodian is a high-achieving school for approximately 1,000 boys and girls aged 4-18 set in a beautiful riverside location on the south bank of the Thames at Barnes in south west London.The generous 25-acre site includes distinct departments for three separate age groups: Pre-Prep (4-7+), Prep (8-12+) and Senior/6th Form (13-18+) that form a single, close-knit whole.
Three key factors account for our growing success and popularity.
The first is the amazing riverside location – an unusually beautiful place in which to work, play and grow up. We have adapted and improved our 25-acre site, custom-designing the elegant buildings to suit our needs and adding superb new facilities – science labs, ICT suites, music and drama study centres. The latest, a new floor for the Senior School complete with state-of-the-art Sixth Form and media spaces, opened in September 2017.
Academic standards live up to the environment’s quality. Harrodian delivers a balanced education across diverse subjects, employing dynamic specialist teachers and support staff who inspire our pupils to work to the limits of their potential, prepare them thoroughly for the next steps in life and help them develop a broad range of interests and skills along the way. Results are excellent with standards at every level improving year by passing year.
The third special ingredient in the mix is the unique Harrodian spirit. Parents and pupils all cherish a culture and community in which warmth, spontaneity and lasting friendships are the norm, a place which celebrates individuality and personal achievement as well as promoting a supportive community that binds Harrodians of all ages into a cohesive close-knit family.H
Design is both a real strength within the British economy and a strong focus at Harrodian. The School prefers 3D Design as its GCSE option because it provides a more design-focused approach to practical problem solving than Design and Technology, the usual alternative.
Taster year
Pupils in the 13s are given the option of sampling three-dimensional design before they embark on the full GCSE curriculum by undertaking a taster year.
Pupils get the opportunity to sample Three-Dimensional Design before embarking on the GCSE course which asks pupils to explore design through the ‘real-life' medium of the design brief. The curriculum requires pupils to work around a set of given components to create electronic devices that are both functional and aesthetic by working through a design brief, understanding its core, researching good practice and the work of others, sketching up concepts, digitizing and finally rendering in three dimensions using a range of materials from wood to 3-D printing outputs. Pupils are also asked to look at the challenge of manipulating space through an architectural brief.
Harrodian cultivates a caring and supportive atmosphere in which students learn to explore their own ideas and develop their artistic creativity. We aim to inspire all students to fulfil their potential, both through examination results and their broader development as artists.
The approach has generated a rigorous but informal creative culture in which new ideas – ranging right across Art and Design - can thrive and flourish. Results both at GCSE and A Level are consistently good.
On average, seven A Level students choose to study creative subjects when they leave Harrodian. Destinations include London colleges such as Central Saint Martins, Kingston University and City and Guilds, and Edinburgh, Leeds, Oxford Brookes, Brighton, Bournemouth and American colleges such as Parsons School of Design in New York.
Biology draws on many scientific disciplines to examine the miraculous nature of life in all its forms. Studying it takes us on a journey from the physiology that explores the functions of our own bodies through biochemistry that explains the chemical composition of life on earth all the way to the ecology that defines the unique niche that each organism occupies in the world.
At Harrodian, we teach our pupils to understand their own biology and that of the animals and plants that surround them. We study the delicate nature of global ecosystems and encourage pupils to examine the importance of preserving them. We explore the rising importance of new biological advances such a genetic engineering and stem cell research at technology's cutting edge.
Studying Biology at GCSE and A Level establishes foundations on which students can build careers in medicine, agriculture, ecology, neuroscience and psychology. It also breeds skills that are essential in any professional field, such as logical and sequential problem analysis and articulate explanation.
There has never been a more interesting or more pertinent time to study Business. Technology has blown open the way today's student generation will work in the future, with start-ups and hot desking emerging as the norm in many graduate careers. Business degrees, in myriad forms, are the fastest growing of any subject in the UK and universities including Oxford and Cambridge now put great value on Business as an A Level subject.
Harrodian Business Department prides itself on the hands-on experience of its teachers, all of whom have worked in industry prior to teaching and bring a wealth of ‘real world' information and knowledge into the classroom. We add a combination of thoroughly current resources drawn from news, business and economics to make lessons as dynamic and engaging as possible.
Business is taught from the 13s to the Upper Sixth and all students are taught how to harness entrepreneurial skills and set up their own business, as well as how to understand how any business they may join really works, whether that means in the film industry, an investment bank or a charity. Business is not an easy option. We do not ‘spoon feed' answers. But for those who wish to harness their intelligence, to be challenged and to learn real life skills for the future, this is the perfect subject.
Taster year
Harrodian offers students the chance to undertake a preliminary taster year in Business in the 13s which allows pupils to sample the subject before they embark on the GCSE curriculum.
Are you curious about what the substances around you are made of and why they behave the way they do? How does soap clean, for example? Why do perfumes smell? Why does coffee wake you up? Chemistry is fundamental both to many aspects of daily life and to the industrial and technological progress that carries humankind forward. New breakthroughs in areas as diverse as genetics, the environment, and computer hardware are all driven by chemistry.
Studying chemistry at GCSE sets out the principles of what some call the ‘central science' and explores how it makes our world work. A Level Chemistry provides an essential understanding of the scientific method and the theory underpinning the nature of matter and it builds a foundation for further studies and career development in fields such as geography, geology, forensic and veterinary science and even accountancy and law.
Classical Civilisation is the perfect choice of subject for students with enquiring minds, broad skills and an interest in knowing how the spirit of western civilisation emerged and flourished. It is a unique cross-disciplinary subject, offering many subjects rolled into one.
Focusing on the ancient Graeco-Roman world, we examine the roots and the evolution of classical culture through wide-ranging courses embracing philosophy, literature, history and archaeology.
As well as fostering a deeper understanding of the world we live in today, Classical Civilisation gives students analytical skills and thoughtful perspectives on life that are thoroughly contemporary and applicable to the modern working environment. The working destinations of classicists are as broad as the subject matter they have studied, ranging across business, banking, civil service, law, journalism, media and academia.
Our approach to teaching Computing at the Harrodian keeps the new realities of the tech economy and the creative and practical skills required by technologically focused employers firmly in mind. All students study the subject in their first year in the Senior school. If they are enthusiastic about Computing, students can then embark on a two-year GCSE course in Computer Science where they will have opportunities to further their understanding of how computers work and how to develop programs that run on them.
Extracurricular
Each year we collaborate with the 3D Design Department on a STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) project. Last year we did some coding on BBC Micro:Bit computers to facilitate data logging for the Harrodian “European CanSat Competition” entry.
Throughout the School's history, theatre and performance have always played key roles in our educational culture and community. The Drama Department takes its strength from the enduring enthusiasm and commitment to the subject from both staff and pupils.
We offer Drama to every pupil in the School because we see it as a dynamic and creative subject that instills unique skills in our pupils. Within the drama classroom all pupils come to develop skills such as cooperation, confidence, collaboration, independent thinking, problem solving and creativity. We believe that this equips our pupils with key life skills that are transferable to any walk of life.
We are very proud of our successes in placing pupils at nationally recognised drama and performing arts schools and we have a strong mentoring system in place for students who are looking to continue their studies into the professional world. In both GCSE and A Level, the department consistently exceeds the national average in examination results.
Why is there inequality in society and how do we solve it? How can governments encourage growth while controlling inflation and inequality? How can we cure obesity and alcohol problems? Economics is a subject that spans the individual financial issues companies and individuals face at the ‘micro' level and the ‘macro' decisions of national importance.
A Level Economics brings students face to face with life's most important questions and challenges them to make considered and practical decisions about them.
Studying Economics demands an all-round mindset. On the one hand, you'll be developing your logical problem-solving ‘detective' brain that allows you to analyse and interpret statistics clearly and accurately. On the other you'll be honing your ability to write well-argued, critical, evaluative essays and to discuss and communicate complex ideas clearly and convincingly. Neither solely an art nor all science, Economics is a subject that breeds versatile, practical thinkers who are well equipped for any career.
If you are interested in current affairs and the world around you then this is definitely the subject for you.
Challenging, stimulating and fun, English at Harrodian is geared to bringing the very best out of our pupils, from the moment they arrive in the Senior School in Key Stage 3, through GCSEs and A Levels, to the world they choose to make their own beyond.
The study of English, after all, is the study of lived experience, whether it's the language we use to communicate with, or the literature great writers have explored life through. Developing a usable, analytic vocabulary, while examining some of our world's greatest written work, is therefore a way of engaging more fully both with the art of the past and with the increasingly complex world around us.
Extracurricular
We take every opportunity to link our subject with the wider world, exploiting academic expertise within our department as well as the rich resources available throughout London. Within School we have informal book club discussions; interdisciplinary debates that explore contemporary culture; live poetry slams; and other student-led evenings that celebrate and explore leading literary events such as the annual Man-Booker Prize. Trips and visits include public lectures, poetry and prose readings, and expeditions into London to explore the locations of some of the great texts we study.
French is spoken by at least an estimated 274 million people around the world and the numbers continue to grow. Estimates suggest that by 2050 it will have 750 million speakers. Historically, it has long been viewed as the language of diplomacy and it remains the preferred or official tongue of many international organisations and businesses.
Extracurricular
There are regular opportunities to join trips to French films and theatre performances, to attend students' conferences and to take part in a debating competition with other London schools.
As modern life becomes more global, few subjects can claim to be more useful or relevant to twenty-first century citizens of the planet than Geography.
Cross-disciplinary and varied in character and subject matter, Geography forms a unique link between the so-called hard sciences (physics, chemistry and biology) and the social ones (history, business, economics). Studying it allows students to truly appreciate the nature of the exciting world that surrounds them and to build a knowledge base that allows them to ‘unpack' many of the key ‘real world' challenges they face today.
Our aim is to make learning Geography an enjoyable experience that stimulates wonder for and appreciation of our world while growing understanding and instilling proper, practical expertise. We encourage students to bring analytical rigour to all sorts of contemporary topics from climate change to migration. Along the way, we teach them wide-ranging skills — from research, data collection and IT to analysis, essay writing and presentation — that have an enduring practical value in our rapidly changing world.
Extracurricular
The Geography Department is committed to a range of extra-curricular events that encourage school-wide enthusiasm for the subject. We regularly attend talks at the Geographical Association and the Royal Geographical Society and also invite experts to present talks at Harrodian. The highlight of our extracurricular programme is the annual overseas trip. Recent destinations have included Iceland, Morocco and Sicily.
Graphic Design A Level at Harrodian encourages students to engage with an audience. Exploring a range of media, both digital and print based, the course focuses on visual communication. Working to a brief as well as developing research and evaluative skills, the A Level prepares students for higher education in the arts and industry.
Through workshops, studio visits, collaborative projects and the facilities available at Harrodian, the course allows students to become independent designers, developing their understanding of visual culture and use of communicative language.
The Design Department is open after school for teacher supported studio time and there are a number of design based lunchtime clubs for students to get involved in.
Studying History involves looking in detail at the historical figures and geo-political forces that have inspired conflicts, driven revolutions and shaped individual states and entire regions of the world. It's a challenging process of analysis that provides students with new and surprising insights into the way human behaviour and motivation shape and inform the world we live in.
The skills we teach at GCSE, A Level and before – debating, information analysis, structured writing, data analysis and research, for example – all equip students well for the practical challenges of the modern job market. Studying History provides the perfect grounding for diversification into the study of overlapping disciplines, among them anthropology, sociology, philosophy, economics and politics, as well as opening up a host of possible career options from law through media to politics
13s
In their last compulsory year of History before they settle on GCSE options, Harrodian pupils are taught to build on the essay writing and source analysis skills they have already begun to acquire in the Prep School. All History pupils have the opportunity to take in an annual visit to Ypres in the Spring Term. Use the link below to find out about their most recent visit.
In 2014, Harrodian History decided to commemorate the centenary of the First World War by researching the war experiences of the ancestors of its own staff and pupils. The result was Harrodian Remembers, a book which documents and records the stories of selected soldiers who fought in the Great War. It is still available for purchase from Harrodian main reception.
Extracurricular
The highlight of the History Department's extracurricular activities is the annual school trip. In the past we have visited Russia, Poland, Germany and China. We plan to visit Munich in October 2019.
History of Art is primarily about studying painting, sculpture and architecture and the different contexts in which art is produced, used and displayed. But the prism of art also provides a fascinating lens through which to view cultural history and to examine subjects as diverse as the mythology and the history of the ancient world, literature, philosophy, religion, science, political, economic and social history and much more besides.
Studying the subject at A Level may represent the first step on a path leading to a career in conservation, architecture, art journalism or teaching, art appraisal and even intellectual property law.
With the A Level course, we provide a grounding in art history's fundamentals through engaging and inspirational lessons that enhance an appreciation and understanding of Western art all the way from Ancient Greece to the present day.
We also ensure that our students hone the writing and debating skills that are crucial to success in the subject, that they acquire transferable skills that help in their careers and that they are well equipped to achieve grades in their final examinations which do justice to their abilities.
Extracurricular
The department runs day trips to galleries, museums and places of artistic interest across London and beyond. Each year the students are offered the opportunity to spend time in places such as Venice, New York, Paris, and Barcelona.
The charms of ‘the language of opera' are globally acknowledged but Italian has much more to offer than its legendary musicality and beauty. Studying it not only allows you to communicate with 64 million Italian speakers worldwide it also takes you straight to the centre of Italy and Europe's cultural heritage.
If you are interested in classical culture, the great art and artists of the renaissance, the rise of classical opera or some of Europe's greatest modern filmmakers, Italian could be for you. Moreover, the skills of the Italian department have recently seen Harrodian scoop an award for the best Italian results by boys taking GCSE at a UK independent school.
Extracurricular
There are opportunities to join trips to Italian films and theatre performances and to attend students' conferences.
Two thousand years after its birth, Latin remains an enduring force within the language and culture of Western civilisation. Latin lives on not just through the five languages that are its direct descendants but throughout English speaking culture too. Half of our vocabulary is made up of Latin words and roots, and Latin remains the language of law, government, theology and scientific classification.
Its impact on modern languages is one great reason for studying Latin. Learning it helps students to develop a sensitivity to the way language works, helping them meet universal grammatical and linguistic challenges. The rigour required to master the puzzles of Latin translation sharpens the mind, breeding logical and analytical skills and the sort of problem-solving mentality which is in demand in every professional field. It's no coincidence that classicists have achieved success in fields as diverse as journalism, law, teaching, archaeology, politics and human resources.
Extracurricular
The school organises an annual Harrodian Classics Conference for students studying either Latin or Classical Civilisation at A Level. A number of prestigious speakers are invited to talk at this event and many other schools are invited to attend.
It's hard to overstate the importance of mathematics to modern life. Cutting edge mathematics continue to drive progress and underpin revolutions in sectors across engineering, science, medicine, communication and business. Proficiency in mathematics provides young people with a key to open more doors across the careers spectrum than any other subject.
At Harrodian we believe every child can be good at mathematics. Our priorities are to bring the subject alive, to grow the confidence of our pupils through our teaching, and to ensure that they all work to the best of their ability. We treat the subject not as a collection of rules but as an exploration in learning: posing questions, solving real problems and discovering patterns and relationships.
Enthusiasm for Mathematics is high at Harrodian. This is reflected in strong GCSE results. Mathematics and Further Mathematics continue to be the most popular choices at A Level, amongst Harrodian sixth form students, instilling practical and problem solving skills that equip them for progress in almost any field of future studies.
Extracurricular
Pupils take part in the UKMT Primary, Intermediate and Senior Mathematics Challenges, the Hans Woyda Team Challenge and the FMSP Mathematics Feast. The School's mathematics teams are put through their paces each week by Mr. Lee and Mrs. Willder in the lunchtime Maths Challenge Club.
Has there ever been a more exciting moment to study media?
The creative industries are among the fastest growing sectors of the UK economy. In London alone, they account for one in six jobs, many of them future proof as 90% of creative jobs are at low risk of automation. We are in the grip of a rapid technological revolution that has turned most industries on their heads. Simultaneously, the spectacular rise of dynamic new media providers and distributors from Facebook to Netflix poses new questions about the future. What does 21st century media look like? How will it grow and how will we consume it? Is it possible to control it or to ensure that it's a positive force in people's lives? In a media-saturated world, students need to be able to decode and decipher complex and at times contradictory messages. The media can be a tool of manipulation and students need to question what is being said and who benefits from it.
Harrodian Media Studies department is driven by a passion for creativity and academic excellence. Our students develop the creative, technical and academic skills to fulfiill their potential and thrive in potential career paths across the media industries.
The course is practical, relevant and plugged into the real world, building a solid foundation for our students' futures. As well as classroom learning, students also gain hands-on experience with year- round projects. We set out to provide the analytical mindset that enables students to map and to make sense of a media landscape that is increasingly dynamic and varied .
The Media and Film Studies Departments work with a team of selected upper 6th students with a particular interest in and aptitude for filmmaking. They are encouraged to undertake a variety of film projects across the three terms and their role also includes the management of the Media and Film Studies Youtube page giving students the opportunity to have their work watched by a global audience.
Music transcends everything. All of us can experience and make it in some form. As well as the obvious joy that Music brings to both listeners and performers, it can be an outlet for emotion and creativity, allowing thoughts and feelings to be explored.
At Harrodian, we aim to bring the magic of Music to the widest possible audience through a range of media.
Our Music staff comprises six very highly qualified teachers with a range of specialisms including composition, performance, musicology and musical theatre. We work hard to ensure a high level of success at GCSE and A Level examinations and many Harrodians go on to study Music at university or conservatoire level. A recent Upper Sixth leaver secured a place reading Music at St John's College, Cambridge, and another at King's College, London and a number of Harrodians have achieved successful careers in the music industry.
We also believe strongly that the learning of music instills many transferrable skills applicable to all areas of life, including teamwork, listening skills, communication and the ability to create, to think outside the box and to plan ahead.
Do you think you're good at Photography? The ubiquity of the smartphone may have given most of us the opportunity to take a half-decent picture but there's more to being a photographer than pointing and shooting.
At Harrodian, we view Photography as both a technical craft to be learnt and a serious art form capable of generating work with serious meaning and aesthetic content. We encourage students to bring the same application and concentration to their use of cameras, lenses and imaging equipment as an artist might to his paint and brushes.
If you still consider PE to be a subject that you just do on the playing field then it's time for a rethink. Studying the subject is not just about improving your own performance, it also involves acquiring the technical knowledge and understanding that allows you to train other people.
Modern GCSE and A Level Physical Education courses are increasingly technical in character, requiring students to master principles of physiology, psychology, sociology and biomechanics and to discover exciting new issues including cardiovascular optimisation, plyometrics and high-intensity interval training.
The growing sophistication of Sports Science has widened the career opportunities available to those studying it beyond teaching and coaching. Almost every professional sports club or organisation now employs a number of sport physiologists and psychologists to optimise the performance of players and staff. There are opportunities in community sports development, fitness and leisure industries, sports management, pharmaceutical industries, healthcare, sports and leisure centre management, coaching, lecturing and work with national sports agencies.
Extracurricular activities and fixture opportunities
Our extensive extracurricular program includes before-school, lunchtime and after-school clubs which offer greater breadth of activity and longer participation time. The main sports have training clubs available to pupils developing their skills and to those who are already representing school teams. Other on-site activities include karate, fencing and Sports Leadership. We are also able to recommend a number of other local sporting clubs and organisations for off-site sports such as golf and squash. For more information please download our Club Links list below. A full calendar of competitive fixtures is also available to view on our own dedicated sports website. In addition to this, we also regularly organise sports tours for teams taking part in our main representative sports.
Physics is the part of science that deals with the nature and properties of matter and energy, and the interaction between them. It includes the study of mechanics, light and other radiation, heat, sound, magnetism, electricity and the structure of atoms. Physicists are interested in the fundamental questions and using observations and experiments to attempt to answer them.
This might make it sound daunting, but physics also plays an enormous part in our everyday lives, as our Science Week demonstrates to pupils every Spring Term . If you want to know how things work, from mobile phones to magnets, or if you just want to understand why the sky is blue, physics has the answers.
Studying Physics at GCSE is a great place to start unpacking life's great and small mysteries. If you find the subject catches your imagination, continuing your studies into Harrodian Sixth Form could provide a platform for progress further into Physics, or other sciences, such as Chemistry, and related disciplines, like Engineering. Physics can also open other doors. As many employers recognise, physicists are problem solvers with transferable skills, so whether your ambitions lie in the worlds of law, finance or computer gaming, a Physics A Level on your CV could provide a useful head start.
Living in a democracy gives all voters the chance to help decide the direction of the country. But how many of us base our decisions on the personalities of the leaders, family voting traditions or views acquired from social media? Studying politics at A Level will enable students to really understand how government works and the part ideologies play in driving how things work. Students will be taught to understand how and why leaders and governments come to decisions, to construct opinions and to really grasp the way that countries work.
Along the way, students learn skills like debating, information analysis structured writing, data analysis and research, all of them useful assets in the job market. Potential careers include law, journalism, accountancy, writing, publishing and lobbying. We visit both Parliament and the Supreme Court and aim to produce politically-aware and active students whose study and love of politics will endure and continue throughout their lives.
Typically, our students go on to study Politics, International Relations, Philosophy, History, Geography, Sociology, Economics and Business at university.
Extracurricular
In the past we have offered opportunities including:
- Trip to Parliament including a tour of the House of Commons and House of Lords.
- Meeting with a current member of Parliament.
- Tour to the Supreme Court, and if possible the opportunity to see a trial.
- We hope in future to run a trip to Washington.
- Associated clubs include: Harrodian Model United Nations, Debating Society, Politics Society.
Throughout the Senior School years, pupils follow a PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and Current Affairs curriculum in form times, allowing space for pupils to consider and discuss pressing current issues such as social media, self-image and peer relationships. This now incorporates Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). Societal awareness and contribution is also developed through a timetabled Citizenship course in Year 9.
A constantly updated programme of visiting speakers are also invited to the school to discuss various PSHE topics. Each year group should receive three talks per year and, while in the Senior School, will all receive talks on Mental Health, Drugs Awareness and Relationships and Sex Education.
We know that parents are our key partners in these areas. They are invited to termly PSHE presentations where they can hear from and question the speakers who have addressed their sons and daughters in school.
Psychology in the Sixth Form enables students to study something new and exciting and is relevant and highly applicable to an understanding of the world we live in. It's a subject that suits any student who is determined to understand what motivates themselves and others, and to learn why it is that people think and act in a particular way.
At A Level, Psychology involves challenges such as learning to write structured essays, grasping ethical issues within the subject, analysing data from research, evaluating the usefulness of theories and even designing and conducting scientific investigations. It opens up many options in fields including clinical psychology, social welfare, marketing, education and any career that involves working with other people.
Extracurricular
Trips for students include lectures on specific topics and talks by leading psychologists.
Religious Studies is about considering who you are and how you relate to complex issues in the world. It challenges preconceptions you take for granted and poses questions which have preoccupied some of the greatest minds over the last three thousand years: How do we know right from wrong? Are some things genuinely evil or is it just opinion? Does God exist? And would it matter if she did?
Do humans have souls? Or are we just bundles of self-important chemicals? Are we free to make moral decisions? Is there life after death? In Religious Studies we explore some of the answers great thinkers have proposed and equip you to draw your own conclusions.
Religious Studies greatly increases understanding of current affairs, ethical issues and different cultures and religions. Pupils also develop abilities in communication, debate and critical thinking – skills that are invaluable in careers such as politics, law, education and for anyone seeking to make their way in the modern world.
Extra-Curricular activities
In the 14s, pupils visit the Jamyang Buddhist Centre in Kennington and the Buddhapadipa temple in Wimbledon.
At A Level, students of both Religious Studies and Philosophy visit Edinburgh for a weekend trip exploring key philosophical thinkers.
Spanish is among the world's most dynamic and widely spoken modern languages. It is currently spoken by at least 530 million people, which makes it the fourth most commonly spoken language globally. Learning Spanish opens the door for students to communicate with almost every country in South America and over a half a billion speakers worldwide.
Extracurricular
Club for bilingual students who want to sit the GCSE early.
There are opportunities to join trips to watch Spanish films and theatre performances and to attend students' conferences.
Team spirit is a special ingredient in Harrodian culture and it underpins the way we approach sports education throughout the school.
We pride ourselves on an inclusive and supportive environment which gives all students the chance to take part in a wide range of sporting activities in a positive and challenging setting throughout their school careers. We want every boy and girl to thoroughly enjoy taking part in PE and Games, to fulfil his or her individual sporting potential and, whenever possible, to represent the school competitively and confidently on one of our many teams.
Our teachers approach their work with sensitivity and enthusiasm. Our aim is both to inspire in our students a love and knowledge of sport and to educate them about the many benefits that participation can have on their long-term health and well-being. Our approach also aims to instil key strategic skills and character qualities in our students – among them planning, organisation, communication, bravery, resilience and teamwork – that are as crucial to success in the wider world as they are on the playing field.
Curriculum introduction
The curriculum is tailored to each section of the school. The senior school (13s-Upper Sixth) are offered a range of activities, each of which is modified to meet the needs and abilities of the particular year group. These activities include Health Related Fitness, Strength and Conditioning, Yoga, Aerobics, Football, Netball, Rugby, Hockey, Spinning, Swimming, Athletics, Tennis, Cricket and Rounders.
