Key Stages: Secondary

From Year 7 to Year 11 – From 11 to 16 years of age
(“Accept the responsibility of their actions and adopt a healthy attitude to life”)

Co-ordinator of Secondary: Ms Sara Graham

Our aim is to offer our pupils a wide range of subjects so that they receive an all round education. During this stage all teachers are specialists in their own subject.

In the last two years of Secondary, known as Key Stage 4, the curriculum is more flexible and pupils are able to choose between some of the subjects depending on their preferences.

During this period both the teachers and tutors work closely with the pupils to help them achieve good study skills, be responsible for their actions and decisions, to make healthy decisions in their lives and to use their time appropriately. In short, they help them to develop on a personal and social level.

During this Key Stage the pupils take part in exchange trips with schools in Germany and England and they also visit places of cultural and historical interest.

At the end of this Key Stage the pupils sit their IGCSE examinations (International General Certificate of Secondary Education), which are the international version of the GCSE examinations taken by pupils in Great Britain.
