Where curiosity is nurtured through structured learning and pupils grow into confident, capable learners.
The Junior School years (ages 7-11) mark an important stage in a pupil’s development. Learning becomes more structured while curiosity and discovery remain central. Pupils strengthen their academic foundations and develop habits of study, independence and confidence that prepare them for the for Senior School.
Junior School pupils follow a broad curriculum designed to strong foundations in language, mathematics and scientific understanding, while also developing cultural awareness. Each subject introduces pupils to distinctive methods and ways of thinking, helping them recognise how knowledge develops across different disciplines.
The programme includes:

Independence in the Junior School is developed deliberately through routines, expectations and learning experiences that help pupils think carefully, organise their work and act with growing confidence. Teachers guide pupils to take increasing responsibility for their learning while developing the habits of study needed for the academic demands of the Senior School.
Pupils grow in independence through:
These experiences nurture the habits of mind that underpin success in Senior School and beyond, including perseverance, self-regulation and mature engagement with learning.
The Personal Enrichment Programme in the Junior School broadens pupils’ experiences and supports their personal development alongside the academic curriculum. PEP is thoughtfully designed to give pupils opportunities to explore interests, build confidence and practise the values of mind, spirit and heart through meaningful experiences.
Weekly PEP sessions include:
This structured enrichment allows pupils to discover their strengths, broaden their perspectives and develop the confidence and character needed as they transition into the Senior School.
The transition from the Junior to the Senior School is carefully planned so that pupils experience continuity in expectations, routines and support. Academic and pastoral teams work closely together to ensure that pupils move forward with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for the next stage of their education. By the time pupils enter Senior School, they have developed the academic foundations and personal confidence needed to thrive in a more demanding programme of study.
