Students are on first name basis with their teachers and take lessons in small groups, typically with fewer than 10 students.
This is ideal for greater engagement, lots of individual attention and time to cover more ground.
It also gives students the space and opportunity to explore and develop their ideas to help them become more independent thinkers.
On course for success
The teaching time we offer for each subject significantly exceeds the national average.
So, students are rarely under pressure to complete the syllabus in good time and consequently almost always have plenty of time for revision at the end of the course.
High performance
Exam technique is vital to achieving excellent results so students get plenty of guidance and practice throughout their course; teachers set mock exams for each subject every half term (six weeks).
Progress reports
After each set of mock exams, teachers write a report giving an overall assessment including detailed consideration of the quality and quantity of homework, mock exam grades, attendance and effort for their students.
Students get the chance to discuss their progress and other issues with their Personal Tutor. Parents and guardians will be able to access this information via the online portal and discuss progress too at any point. We also hold two parents’ evenings each academic year.
