Support for Scholars
Scholars are supported by a dedicated staff mentors who guides them throughout the academic year and highlights additional opportunities, both within school and beyond. These may include workshops, trips, and collaborations with professional partners. Progress is logged through MS Teams, where Scholars maintain a digital journal accessible to mentors and parents.
As ambassadors for their specialism, Scholars are expected to demonstrate leadership across both the curriculum and co-curriculum. They are normally expected to study their scholarship subject at GCSE and A Level, which may also involve contributing to sessions, establishing new clubs and societies, and supporting peers through subject clinics.
Scholars take on a prominent role in shaping whole school events and are expected to act as role models through their commitment to performance, practice, and preparation, and to participate actively in House Competitions, school productions and community events. They are also required to represent the school at Open Events, showcasing their discipline and supporting innovation in the co-curriculum.
