We aim to ensure that all students receive an education that is broadly based, relevant and tailored to fit the needs of the individual student.
In most subjects, students are taught in groups, which reflect their aptitude and ability. Students currently follow a 50-lesson fortnight with each lesson lasting one-hour.
