Academics

We are a proud International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, offering the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11-16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for ages 16-18.

Our commitment to cultivating educational excellence is unwavering. Through the IB's enquiry-based learning approach, we encourage students to explore, question, and engage deeply with their subjects. This method not only meets rigorous academic standards but also ignites a passion for learning, fostering critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.

Innovation is at the heart of our teaching, with cutting-edge technology integrated into our curriculum - challenging old-fashioned approaches to education. With a dedicated Digital Learning Coach on our staff, we create bespoke virtual environments and utilise advanced tools like Canva and AI platforms such as DALL-E, preparing students for a digital future.

We believe that collaboration sparks creativity - and so does challenge. Our community ethos allows for close-knit connections among teachers and students alike. It creates a safe environment for challenging questions to be asked: of the knowledge we teach and the perspectives we bring.

Teachers collaborate closely in planning and delivering lessons, ensuring a cohesive and integrated educational experience. The challenging questions we ask each other during planning ensures assumptions are avoided, new connections are made, and exciting opportunities appear.

Students are encouraged to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another, celebrating the diversity of perspectives within our classrooms.

Wellbeing is fundamental to unlocking each student's unique potential. We integrate wellbeing into every aspect of our education, recognising that a supportive and nurturing environment is key to success. Underpinning this is our belief in each students' individual potential. That means we welcome every student - and their families - for who they are.

Our Student Wellbeing Lead, a qualified restorative practitioner, sits on the Senior Leadership Team, ensuring that wellbeing is prioritised at the highest level. Weekly cognitive coaching by trained staff fosters resilience and emotional awareness, empowering students with agency over their learning and personal development.

Our restorative practices cultivate a respectful and harmonious community where differences are celebrated, and relationships are strengthened.
