Senior
There has never been a more exciting time to join the Senior School at HCS. At the heart of our vision and values is an unrelenting focus on holistic education which includes outstanding examination results, a commitment to character education, and a remarkable breadth of opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom.There’s certainly no such thing as a typical day here. Pupils might study subjects as diverse as Latin and Computer Science at GCSE, while choosing to learn Mandarin off-timetable; they might play in the string or brass ensemble at lunchtime on one day, join the Debating Society on another, or perhaps join the ‘Roots and Shoots’ gardening club after that. When lessons finish, there is no shortage of opportunities, with many pupils trying out new sports and activities for the very first time.
Sixth Form
They offer a flexible curriculum with great choice. Our 27 subject choices are largely in the traditional fields sought by the countries leading universities and the breadth of subjects allows our students to choose from a large number of possible combinations.They offer small class sizes allowing our teachers who get to know our students as individuals. Many students also enjoy the the opportunity to pursue the Extended Project Qualification. When combined with our holistic approach to developing well-rounded individuals, our academic programme contributes to an outstanding Sixth Form experience.
