Grange School

Grange School is committed to a British educational ethos and a holistic approach to learning, underpinned by strong values. It emphasizes the development of '6P' learner qualities, aiming to foster critical thinking, creativity, resilience, and independence. The school prioritizes safeguarding and student welfare, creating a supportive environment where students are encouraged to become team players and global citizens.

The school follows a British-based curriculum, beginning with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and progressing through primary and secondary stages. Key Stage 3 (ages 11–14) covers 15 subjects, including core sciences, humanities, and modern foreign languages, culminating in Cambridge Checkpoint examinations. Key Stage 4 (ages 14–16) offers a two-year programme leading to IGCSE qualifications, where students select 8 to 10 subjects from a range of core and elective options.

The school has achieved notable success in international competitions, including being crowned champions of the U13 World School Games in 2020. Students sit for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Checkpoint assessments at the end of Key Stage 3 and pursue IGCSE qualifications at the end of Key Stage 4. The school also recognizes student achievement through a merit system, which includes the awarding of tan and blue blazers for conduct and academic excellence.

The school maintains a holistic approach to student support, utilizing a multi-agency strategy involving school counsellors, medical staff, and safeguarding leads. A 'Whisper App' is used to promote student wellbeing, and the school provides personalized support for students with additional educational needs or physical disabilities, including wheelchair access and a dedicated SEND policy.

The school provides an online application process for prospective families. Detailed information regarding the admissions process, including a prospectus and frequently asked questions, is available on the school's website.

The academic year is divided into three terms: the Christmas Term (September to December), the Lent Term (January to March), and the Summer Term (April to July). Each term includes a scheduled half-term break.

The campus is secured by a perimeter wall with electric fencing and 24-hour CCTV monitoring. Sports facilities include a swimming pool, basketball court, football pitch, and a grass athletics track. The school features specialized learning spaces, including a computing suite with robotics and drone technology, libraries in both the primary and secondary sections, and a well-equipped health centre with nursing staff. A boarding facility with a capacity of 96 students is available, with plans for a new boarding complex currently in development.

The school offers a wide range of co-curricular activities to support social and personal development, including music, drama, public speaking, debating, and STEM and coding clubs. Sports provision is extensive, featuring football, basketball, swimming, athletics, table tennis, and volleyball, with students participating in competitive events such as the AISEN competitions and the Dolphin Swimming League. Additionally, the school participates in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Scheme and organizes various leadership and language immersion trips.
