The Senior School follows the National Curriculum of England from Years 7 to 11 and   AS/A2 Levels  in Years 12 and 13.  This divides the School into three phases: Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9) Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) The Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13)
Each phase ends in externally assessed examinations.  These are:
Key Stage 3	National Curriculum Tests
	These exams are set in the core subjects Mathematics, English and Science at the end of Year 9.  The results indicate the pupil’s standing in terms of National Curriculum levels in that subject at that time.
Key Stage 4	GCSE exams
	The General Certificate of Secondary Education is an internationally recognised qualification at the secondary level.  Most students will be examined in May/June of Year 11, although students can be entered in Year 10. These exams form the foundation of any post 16 qualifications.
Sixth Form	AS and A2 exams
	The A Level programme is a major international qualification for university entrance, including the more prestigious universities around the world.
