Gifted and Talented Provision

Enrichment opportunities are offered to all pupils identified as gifted or talented and details of these can be found in the Gifted and Talented Enrichment Programmes section of our website, but it is within the classroom that the majority of provision takes place. All scholars and exhibitioners are automatically part of an enrichment programme, as are those pupils whose abilities and talents have been observed and who are invited to take part. For those pupils hoping to apply to Oxford or Cambridge there is an Oxbridge Programme

Notable extra curricular activities

A wide variety of activities are undertaken as part of the junior school programme and numerous and diverse clubs and societies flourish throughout the school. All pupils are encouraged to do something well and standards in art, drama, dance and music are all high. The school has three theatres: Big School Theatre, the Le Brocq Studio and the Dell Theatre for outdoor productions. The CCF, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and S@S (Service at School) all offer opportunity for leadership and initiative testing. Regular College expeditions have recently visited Uganda, Bolivia, Borneo, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Peru and India whilst other outdoor activities thrive on the Sussex “Sunshine Coast”.
