Our International Secondary Curriculum guides students years 7-9 (Key Stage 3) and Years 10-11 (Key Stage 4) preparing them for their IGCSE exams at the end of Year 11.

Opportunities
We encourage our Secondary students to actively engage in the wider school community to broaden their horizons. Along with more than 100 co-curricular activities, students have many chances to step outside their comfort zone and take on responsibilities. School camps foster teamwork and camaraderie, while sports teams help build leadership and organisational skills. Students can also explore their potential through roles such as prefects, participating in musicals or dramas, joining the Student Council, and many other enriching opportunities. These experiences help them grow both socially and academically!
School trips
Throughout the year, students attend day trips to fascinating places, enriching their learning outside the traditional classroom setting. In the past our international secondary students have enjoyed trips such as Otternest Adventure Camp, Southampton University Computing Workshop, Global Model United Nations, Kuala Lumpur and a STEM trip to KL MakerSpace. These educational trips are not only great fun but also a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen friendships and develop independence. These trips create lasting memories and important learning opportunities outside the classroom.
