...the natural progression...

The natural progression from the Junior Department is into the Middle School. From Year 7, the day is run on a senior style timetable, with more emphasis on specialist teaching and the introduction of new subjects. Each single class in each age group is closely monitored by the a Form Teacher with responsibility for pastoral care, yet is taught by many different subject specialists. Links with the Junior School remain for some time but move progressively towards the Senior School. By the time pupils reach the age of 14 years, they are fully integrated into the routine shared by the older pupils.

Middle School pupils enjoy access to the wide range of facilities in the school in all subject areas. Homework is set daily and carefully monitored by the use of Home-School diaries. Those who wish can stay after school to a "supervised prep" to complete their work before they go home.

Developing Talents

Opportunities are provided to learn musical instruments, play in string or wind groups and in the orchestra, or to join the choir. Expressive Arts are taught in the form of Drama, Music and Dance and are often brought together in small or large scale productions. Field trips and outings, Inter-House sport, activity weekends, school holidays abroad and activity camps during the summer all help to foster co-operation, tolerance and thought for others, as well as providing enjoyable learning experiences.

The Middle School builds on the good start the pupils have had in the Junior Department and continues to encourage hard work and effort within a friendly and caring environment. This stands pupils in good stead for the important courses in GCSE which begin in the Senior School.
