Senior Department @ Wickham Court School

This splendid Manor House with its peaceful gardens has proved to be the ideal environment for the pupils of our Early Years and Junior departments. We could not have predicted just how proud the pupils would be of having such an historic and inspiring setting in which to enjoy academic, sporting and leisure activities. The school has achieved considerable success since it opened in 2002 and we now feel that this is the perfect time to offer the same successful formula to children embarking upon their Senior

education.

By remaining true to our ethos of "an excellent education for all, based on small classes and individual attention," we offer a unique alternative to the large senior schools of today. We offer the opportunity for children to continue to be educated in the happy, caring and secure environment they have experienced at junior school level as opposed to the often daunting prospect of transferring to a large senior school. To ensure continuity and a smooth, steady growth, we will add a year group each September, finally adding Year 11 by the year 2009. After sitting their G.C.S.E. examinations, pupils would then transfer to one of the excellent sixth form schools and colleges we are fortunate to have in the area, or pursue one of the many alternative options for pupils at this stage in their education.Fees are very competitive and additionally, we are delighted to be able to offer a 30% academic scholarship to one pupil each year entering year 7. This generous award will benefit the successful pupils throughout their time at Wickham Court School.

The senior department will be an integral part of the existing school. Run by Head Teacher, Mrs. Barbara Hunter, specialist teachers of the highest calibre will be employed to teach the full range of subjects you will expect your child to be offered at an independent school, together with an exciting range of extra curricular activities. Applications are considered throughout the year and as you will have many questions, we would be pleased to welcome you to the school to view the facilities and discuss this exciting new project. We look forward to your call to arrange an appointment.
