Facilities/Extra curricular activities
We are located on the North London Business Park in a modern building which provides bright, well-equipped classrooms, specialist science laboratories and excellent IT facilities. A newly built school on the same site will be the school’s permanent home. A wide range of after-school enrichment activities is provided, particularly focused on sports and music, but also including curriculum linked activities such as Art, Science, Computing, Dance and Drama. We provide the opportunity for all students to learn and practise a musical instrument. We encourage all students to view these clubs as an important part of the school day.
You and your child’s progress
We support all students to achieve their potential both academically and as creative, caring and responsible future adults. Our curriculum is broad and balanced and meets the needs of the full range of our students, developing them intellectually, socially, culturally, spiritually and morally. There is a clear focus in every subject throughout the school on setting challenging academic targets. We work in partnership with parents to support every student in making exceptional progress
Curriculum and homework
When this school was set up last year, our expert sponsor The Russell Education Trust (RET) worked closely with the Headteacher and the Classical Education Trust to develop the school’s curriculum. RET has a particular reputation for its expertise in English, maths and science. We intend to gain a nationally recognised reputation for examination and university entrance success in Classics, Greek and Latin as well as maths, science and languages. It should be noted that Greek is not a compulsory subject.
Underpinned by our Christian values, we offer an expertly-delivered, high quality ‘traditional but current’ curriculum, drawing on best practice from independent and state schools nationally. This curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students of all abilities and classes are grouped according to ability in most subjects. Homework is set in all subjects and is an integral part of our learning process .Homework is set in all subjects and is an integral part of our learning process
Teaching and learning
The quality of teaching and learning is the foundation of an outstanding school. Our teachers are very well- qualified and are selected by the Headteacher and by RET’s inspectors on the basis of their track record and excellence in classroom teaching. All teachers are members of their RET subject network which disseminates best practice across our five schools nationally.
We also employ specialist instructors and coaches for some sports and clubs and some language assistants.
