WELCOME TO THE SENIOR SCHOOL
Senior School is a time where young minds begin to experience extra responsibilities and flex their academic muscle in new ways. At The Webber Independent we develop key skills to prepare your son or daughter for the rigours of examinations. One of the ways we do this is through embedding the skills and competencies required for the successful study of GCSE into our Key Stage 3 Programme of Study.
A key benefit of The Webber Senior School is our small class sizes, where we provide highly individualised learning and a greater parent, student and teacher partnership. In addition, we deliver a robust Study Skills Programme.
Our track record of strong GCSE results demonstrates that our approach to education delivers. So, from Year 7 to Year 11, you can be assured that your son or daughter's education is in good hands.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TODAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL PROUD?
This is a phrase you'll hear our students use quite frequently. A simple question that captures the very spirit of our positive educational environment. What have you done today to make you feel proud?
As educators we have proud moments every day but we're particularly proud of our students' academic performance. In 2019, 93% of our Year 11 pupils achieved Grade 4 and above. We believe that our personalised approach to learning, our Study Skills Programme, and access to resources and enrichment activities, provide the right environment for our young people to flourish.
The Webber Team will do all they can to assist students transitioning from Year 9 to Year 10, supporting the important decision-making process around subject selection. We use Cambridge Online Assessments and one-to-one interviews to help focus our young people’s choices around their strengths and talents.
We offer a diverse range of GCSE subjects, and have a track record of strong performance in the highly academic subjects of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, English Language and English Literature. Other areas of particular strength include: Government & Politics, Technology, Art, Music and Modern Foreign Languages.
Our GCSE offering requires the selection of nine subjects, which must include Maths, English Language and English Literature. We do offer flexibility and cater to different levels of ability and talent; for example, some students may decide to take early entry GCSE Mathematics (in Year 10) - providing the opportunity to study Further Mathematics (in Year 11), in preparation for study at A-levels.
