ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT · G10–G12
A structured journey from subject exploration to university application, with individual academic planning and specialist teaching at every stage.
A CONTINUOUS ACADEMIC JOURNEY
Preparation develops with the student. In G10, the priority is understanding potential and finding a subject direction. G11 brings deeper exploration and a more focused strategy. In G12, that learning comes together in admissions tests, written work, school references and interviews.
G10, G11 and G12 refer to the grade stages used in our programme pathways. Individual planning takes account of the student’s curriculum, academic starting point and intended application date.
THE G10–G12 PATHWAY
From discovering a subject
to making it your own.
Map academic potential, discover subject interests and establish a long-term plan for development and Oxbridge preparation.
Manage progress, deepen subject knowledge and research, and refine university and course choices as the student’s interests and capabilities develop.
Bring academic development into the application through focused admissions test preparation, written work, school references and mock interviews. Use our proprietary testing simulator to track improvement, identify weaknesses and follow an adaptive course of practice.
TWO LONG-TERM PROGRAMMES
Two structured programmes combine academic development with application planning. The emphasis and sequence of teaching are shaped around each student.
01 / ENTRY AT G9–G10
Long-term, one-to-one academic development and application planning led by an academic director. A flexible package builds capability over time, with space for exploration before the application comes into focus.
02 / ENTRY AT G11
A focused programme for G11 students, combining academic development with a clear university and course strategy. Teaching connects subject depth with the demands of tests, written work and interviews.
CORE LEARNING
The programmes bring together complementary areas of teaching, connecting intellectual development with purposeful preparation.
