Preparing for the next stage

Our pupils enjoy embarking on a new stage in their learning after the independent schools examinations. They are helped to develop the capacity to work independently and undertake a range of tasks which will effectively prepare them to meet the challenge of their Senior School careers. Participation in the arts, sport and other interests is actively promoted.

A well planned activities programme introduces the children to a number of exciting outdoor activities such as cycling, abseiling and horse riding. Cultural visits to galleries such as The Lowry and a day of stimulating workshops and tours in Stratford Upon Avon all server to nurture wider understanding and a desire to learn more.
