The aim of these curricula are to expand the student’s knowledge of a wide range of subjects, while encouraging them to analyse and make connections between them. Our curricula at middle year builds on your child’s knowledge and gives them the tools and confidence to critique what they hear and see, and to embark on their own learning outside of the classroom. In the Middle School, your child will focus upon honing the skills that will be required for future success. The main tools for this curricula are accessed through our curricula.

  • To use ideas and information through case studies, projects, group work, simulation, debate and discussion.

It is important for us that our students are able to think globally, work well in groups and be confident enough to take their own path where necessary. Our curriculum gives students the skills and knowledge they will need for the transition into secondary school and their further education, as well as making a strong and positive contribution to society. As an all-through school, we benefit from opportunities to make the transition from primary school to secondary school smoother. In Grade 6, specific transition days are held throughout the year so children can get a taste of what secondary school is like and feel confident and supported moving up to secondary school.
