Scholarship
We remain committed to academic rigour and breadth – delivered by expert teachers, within a rich, supportive learning environment.
our goals:
We will review what, how and why we teach – focusing on stretch and challenge, equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and powerful cross-curricular connections.
Using the latest research and adaptive practice, we will ensure lessons meet the needs of all learners.
Using research-based methods which are proven to enhance progress, every pupil will have the opportunity to develop habits of independence, curiosity and self-motivation.
Recognising that each subject has its own unique language, ways of knowing, doing, and communicating, our drive for disciplinary literacy will enable pupils to think, communicate and enquire like scholars
Innovation
We are outward-looking, future-focused and ready to embrace change where it benefits learning.
our goals:
Informed by cognitive science, our approach will prioritise engagement, curiosity, and deep understanding.
From our diverse community to global partnerships and iGCSE Global Perspectives, we will prepare boys to thrive in an interconnected world.
Preparing pupils for the real world, our personal development programme will empower boys to develop critical thinking, creativity and innovation to offer new perspectives on market opportunities and social issues.
We will harness emerging technologies in a balanced, purposeful way – including teaching skills like prompt engineering to ensure our pupils lead the future, not follow it.
Individual Growth
Pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do – not just for wellbeing, but as the foundation of good character.
our goals:
Proactive pastoral care, Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE), co-curricular activities and wellbeing will be coherently planned to support individual growth.
We will celebrate individuality and ensure every boy is known, understood and valued – developing confidence, character and compassion.
With over 140 clubs, music, drama, sport, Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and more, boys will have the chance to try new things, pursue passions and grow as people.
Social Responsibility
We aim to develop principled young men who not only succeed but give back.
our goals:
Expanding our student leadership model, we will equip pupils to lead with integrity in school and beyond.
We will forge deeper, mutual partnerships with maintained schools, local charities, universities and business.
Through volunteering, charitable work and environmental awareness, pupils will live out our founding mission to contribute meaningfully and serve others.
