How we teach, and how we measure it

Reading and mathematics are taught with Read Write Inc. phonics and White Rose Maths, the programmes used in strong British primary schools. Progress is measured with Cambridge BASE and CEM in Primary and MIDYIS in Secondary, so that every report to parents is based on evidence, not adjectives.

End of Key Stage 2 SATs, 2025. Pupils at or above the expected standard: Mathematics 97%, Writing 96%, Grammar and spelling 89%, Reading 77%.

Where they go

The IB Diploma Programme gives our students direct access to university. The Class of 2026, our first cohort, was placed at their first-choice universities, including Syracuse University (USA), IE University, ICADE and CUNEF (Spain).
