All students are tested on entry and high achieving students are identified.
The Director of Junior High Achievers oversees the provision of a two year enrichment programme for all identified high achievers. This programme, based around a compacted core curriculum and including an annual retreat, is designed to extend and enrich learning as well as provide the foundation for achievement of excellence in the senior school. A register of high achievers across the school is maintained and acceleration is available for individual students on identified ability.
