The Heritage is a Cambridge International Fellowship Centre and a centre for Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel International Examinations, as well as ICDL.
The majority of students’ progress to university in the UK, Europe, USA and elsewhere in the world, including leading universities, such as the University of Cambridge, Imperial, MIT, Berklee College of Music, Johns Hopkins and Sciences Po.
Innovation
Technology is incorporated as a core subject in the National Curriculum, and through our iPad 1-1 programme. It allows for greater differentiation and a more independent, personalised, active and engaging learning experience for our students.
The Early Years and Primary School collaborates with Engino®, integrating STEM principles into the curriculum and developing students’ robotics and computer programming skills. Our focus on outdoor learning brings lessons to life on our magnificent campus, and in particular in our School Forest.
The Secondary School runs a Gifted and Talented Programme, identifying gifted students across all ages and subjects, and providing them with opportunities to broaden their intellectual frame of reference through exposure to cutting-edge super-curricular material.
Ethos
Academic excellence, personal and social development, respect, collaboration and strong self-discipline are all key aspects of the School’s ethos. The well-qualified and experienced staff aim to develop the full potential of every individual, with many academic and co-curricular activities to help everyone find their own niche. Our in-house School Counsellor and Special Education Needs Coordinator provide valuable student mental health and learning support. Effective communication and collaboration between the School and home is strongly encouraged, as we believe that this is integral to the success of each student.
Beyond the Classroom
There are over 100 after-school clubs and academic Institute classes, an Extended School Day Programme (ASK) and an annual Summer School. The sports teams, participate in interschool tournaments and friendly matches. Extra classes in Drama and Music are offered and we have a School choir and orchestra.
