A message from our Head of Secondary.
Secondary at The ENGLISH Academy encompasses Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. Students work towards Cambridge International Examinations at IGCSE and Edexcel examinations at Advanced Level — internationally recognised qualifications that open doors to universities worldwide.
We aspire to the highest academic standards in an environment that encourages questioning, investigation, collaboration and independent thinking. Chromebooks and Google Workspace tools support everyday teaching and learning, equipping students with digital skills alongside their academic studies.
Outstanding education extends beyond examinations. Our extracurricular programme supports personal development and social confidence, and we take great pride in a community of polite, respectful and enthusiastic young people. Families are always welcome to visit The ENGLISH Academy during a normal working day.
