Grace
Sixth Form Student

These iconic developments are indeed impressive, but what is more important is the impact they have on our student’s learning.

At the heart of our development plans is the desire to enrich the everyday learning experience, to raise our student’s aspirations and to support a multi-faceted curriculum both inside and outside the classroom.

An old classroom photo blends into a modern room with empty metal chairs on a red carpet, highlighting the evolution of facilities as black-and-white pupils at desks contrast with the current empty setting. Light streams through large windows on the left wall.

Connecting the Past & the Future

Our Senior School campus features many iconic buildings including Old Big School, the original School building, now used for meetings and debates.

The Lawrence building is one of our most recently refurbished developments featuring light and spacious classrooms with interactive whiteboards and state-of-the-art equipment to enhance learning.

Our Bean Academic Centre also provides a magnificent multi-media Learning Resource Centre, lecture space, social and quiet study areas, new classrooms and a cafeteria.
