Introduction

At Ardingly College, we take great pride in our rigorous curriculum, taught by passionate teachers who are dedicated to instilling a lifelong thirst for knowledge in our students. With high expectations set for every individual, we strive to provide the necessary support and guidance for each student to achieve their very best.

For our Lower and Middle School students, we offer a curriculum that is engaging, exciting, and challenging. As they approach the transition to GCSEs, we understand that the array of subjects available can be overwhelming. Every student possesses unique academic strengths and weaknesses, and it is essential to choose the pathway that best aligns with their abilities and aspirations.

To ensure academic success in the Middle School, we provide a wealth of support and guidance to help students make informed decisions about their subject choices. Our dedicated Middle School team will offer personalised direction, helping each student select the subjects that will lead them to their optimal academic outcome. This booklet is intended to help inform this process. We take immense pride in our academic support system and are confident that our students will develop a love for learning, intellectual curiosity, and self-determination, empowering them to excel in public exams and beyond.

In our Sixth Form we are in an enviable position to offer a range of options, including A Levels, BTECs, and the IB Diploma. This allows our students to tailor their educational experience based on their interests, strengths, and aspirations. Whether they seek depth or breadth in subject choice or prefer varying assessment methods, we have the flexibility to cater to individual needs.

Once again, we extend a warm welcome to Ardingly College, where academic excellence is fostered, and students are encouraged to surpass their potential. We are excited to embark on this educational journey with you and look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

Warm regards,

Arabella, Jade, Nino & Karen.
