The Senior School

The Senior School is at the heart of the Saint Felix campus. A group of buildings ranging from elegant 19th century to state-of-the art science labs houses the 11-18 age group. Average class sizes are around 15, depending on the subject and the set. Pupils have access to a broad and interesting curriculum, taught by an outstandingly committed and enthusiastic staff.

Saint Felix aims to provide a broad and balanced study programme. The curriculum is designed to cater for all abilities and needs. A learning support department provides excellent guidance for staff and ensures that those with learning difficulties or disabilities have equal access to all subjects and that the able, gifted and talented pupils are stretched and challenged. Pupils are challenged within a supportive environment so that they acquire and progressively develop a wide range of skills.

Pupils of all abilities are supported to fulfil their potential, to develop a love of learning and to contribute to community life. The formal curriculum is enhanced by the provision of a wide range of clubs and activities on offer to all age-groups. An excellent provision of extra-curricular

activities widens the experience of pupils and gives all an opportunity to excel. Pupils’ personal qualities are well developed through a supportive pastoral system and through the personal, social and health education (PSHE) programme. Pupils are happy at school and appreciate the willingness of teachers to help them with their work. There is always someone to whom they can turn if they have problems.
