Academic life - the joy of learning
Queen Ethelburga’s is not, nor does it have any desire to be, huge.

As you would expect, class sizes are small and our teachers are able to give every pupil a high degree of individual attention. In addition, Group Tutors maintain a close personal interest in every pupil’s progress.

Our objective in the early years at school is to identify each pupil’s strengths, weaknesses and particular lines of interest in order to develop, in conjunction with pupil and parents, the most appropriate selection of GCSE subjects when that time arrives.

Those pupils who join us aged between eleven and thirteen will enter a broad-based programme of lessons including English, Mathematics, three Sciences, Music, the Arts, Languages, Information Technology and the Humanities. PSHCE includes Careers, Citizenship and RE. Sport is also included.

Class work goes well beyond the requirements of the national curriculum, to provide a breadth of stimulation and enjoyment which helps every pupil to discover the joy and value of learning, the more to reap its benefit in later years.
