Students of all abilities are encouraged to aim high.
Academic extension activities such as after school study sessions run all year round. We offer a rich and vibrant programme of extra-curricular activities, including an active performing arts scene, several musical ensembles, and numerous sporting clubs and competitions for young sportsmen and women of all abilities.
