Our Holistic Offering

We are a place where a values-led vision for holistic education is enshrined. In practice this means that every facet of a student’s development is embraced, and our pupils are expected to participate in a range of sporting, cultural and service co-curricular activities to enhance their education experience. Various compulsory weekend and late-evening activities support our commitment to this holistic education.

Busy students who are engaged by a full school programme thrive here.

There is more within each one of us than we think – more courage, more strength, and more compassion.

– Kurt Hahn
