Senior Schools

Senior independent schools educate pupils from around age 11 or 13 through to GCSEs and often into sixth form. Parents exploring options at this stage frequently focus on academic standards, subject choice, university preparation and the quality of pastoral care. Curricula are broad, with opportunities spanning sciences, humanities, languages, technology and the creative arts. Alongside qualifications, schools aim to foster independence, leadership and critical thinking. Sport, drama, music and clubs play a major role in daily life, helping students build friendships and develop talents beyond the classroom. Many senior schools also provide structured careers guidance and mentoring for higher education applications. Comparing senior schools often involves looking at examination outcomes, class sizes, facilities, house systems and support for wellbeing. A strong fit can shape not just grades, but confidence, character and future direction.
