Senior School at Solenne Hall

Senior School · Ages 14–18

Toward the world.

The senior years carry students through Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma to university and beyond. The work is demanding and the support is close, with counsellors who start early and know each student well.

Our approach

Ages 14–18, taught with care.

From the age of fourteen, students sit the Cambridge IGCSE, a broad, examined foundation across the sciences, humanities, mathematics, languages and the arts. It teaches them to write at length, to handle data and to argue from evidence, and it leaves their options genuinely open.

At sixteen they move into the IB Diploma: three subjects at higher level and three at standard, alongside Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and the creativity, activity and service strand. It is an ambitious, coherent programme, and our college counselling team works with each student from the first term to find the right destination. Ninety-eight percent of our leavers take up their first or second choice of university.

Coding & innovation

Computing & enterprise

Coding & innovation

Beyond timetabled computer science, the coding club builds real things: a tool for the school office, an app for a local cause, an entry for a regional hackathon. Students learn to scope a problem, ship a working version and stand behind their decisions.

Digital learning & research

Research & study

Digital learning & research

The IB Extended Essay asks for a genuine piece of independent research. Our librarians and subject teachers teach students to find good sources, weigh evidence, reference properly and write at university length, in fully equipped digital-research suites.
