Junior School Prospectus
Free Learning
Free Learning is central to the ethos of the Junior School and the College as a whole. This is learning that is free from a syllabus, free from teaching just to the test, and free to challenge pupils about thinking for its own sake. It is fed by intellectual curiosity, often supported by the interest and enthusiasm of a teacher, and takes place both within subject lessons and without. All our pupils are ambitious academically and we want each to find their areas of interest. Challenges, projects, investigations and problem-solving are built into our curriculum and enriched by a range of trips, visits, workshops and performances. Our ‘supra-curriculum’ extends these opportunities further. For instance, all the boys have Philosophy, Current Affairs and Citizenship lessons as part of the timetable.
