House
Our House system is at the heart of our community. It’s where friendships flourish, teamwork shines, and every student finds a place to belong.

From thriving drama and dance departments to a powerhouse in design and engineering, and an incredible art department with eight specialist studios – it’s easy to see why our expressive and creative arts are a signature strength of our School.
Sport and Wellness
Sport does so much more than keep you fit and healthy. It teaches you independence and resilience. It encourages teamwork. And it gives you the chance to blow off some steam!
For all these reasons, we strongly encourage each one of our students to get active and join at least one of our 30 sports.
Learning how to Learn
Our Approaches to Learning programme develops your study skills, covering topics like metacognition, how the brain works, retrieval practice, referencing and using artificial intelligence by applying our Digital Alphabet framework.
If students require a little extra support to realise their potential, our Individual Learning Centre provides a safe and welcoming environment that offers a graduated response to students’ strengths and needs.
