Academic Excellence

At St. Andrew's Senior School, the educational programme is extensive and challenging with students being encouraged to work with increasing independence.

Our students are prepared for a wide variety of
(I)GCSE exams and the school has gained an excellent academic reputation. The results for 2009 were outstanding and a detailed breakdown of the results for each subject can be downloaded.

A 6th form College offering A levels opened in September 2010. Students leaving St. Andrew's go on to study in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, South Africa and beyond!

Excellent Teaching Staff

The teaching staff is highly qualified to teach the British Curriculum, with the majority having trained in the UK. They aim to get the very best levels of performance out of each student. Each student has a Tutor who monitors pastoral and academic progress and learning support is provided when needed.

Expanding Cultural Diversity

Special events take place each year, which add to the breadth of cultural life at St. Andrew's School. Recent events have included:

• International Cultural Arts Trips to London and Canada to visit theatres and galleries
• Arts Week for Year 9 students
• Skiing trips in Sweden and Austria
• Cultural trip to Israel
• A language trip to France and a French weekend based at school to add to the experience of the languages classroom
• A trip to Egypt to view the Solar Eclipse

Pastoral Approach to Academics

By focusing on understanding the individual needs of each of our students, we aim to encourage the very best levels of performance from each child.

Unlocking the full potential of each student is the key and we follow a structured approach to achieve this.

Students in the Senior School are grouped into pastoral groups, called 'tutor groups', the tutor being responsible for overseeing their tutees' academic progress and pastoral welfare. Class sizes vary but do not exceed 24 in any subject at present. Class sizes in many subjects are often much smaller giving opportunity for greater teacher-student interaction.

We place a high premium on pastoral care in the classroom, around the School and in the boarding houses.
