The
Secondary site is only minutes from the centre of Javea and some 400
metres from the Mediterranean Sea. Teaching rooms are clustered
around a central courtyard with a separate playground to the rear,
generally used for ball games.
The maximum class size is
21 pupils, encouraging an atmosphere in which effective teaching and
learning can thrive. There are two science laboratories, an ICT
suite, assembly hall, music/ drama room, art & design room and
specialist rooms for all the conventional academic subjects.
For
the benefit of students a few subjects are taught in ability groups –
English, Mathematics, Science, German, Spanish – whilst the majority of
the curriculum is delivered to mixed ability form groups. We offer
First Language Programmes in Spanish and German in addition to the
broad and balanced English National Curriculum. The curriculum is
enriched by visits to local places of interest. The main
extra-curricular activities are karate, football, drama, art, fencing
and golf.
The exam results are excellent and compare
favourably with other non-selective independent schools elsewhere in
Europe. Virtually all our sixth form leavers proceed to University,
mainly in the UK, Germany and Spain.
Secondary is a
thriving community which provides a relaxed but purposeful learning
environment in which students of all abilities are encouraged to fully
develop their potential.
I look forward to meeting you –
appointments can be made with Mrs King, Secretary, for any day we are
in session. I can also meet prospective parents in the vacation
by arrangement.
