Class Progression
Each year our children move up the school, progressing to the next level Saturday class. Weekly graded classes change as exams are taken. This leads to a class level change in timetable once, and 2 minor grade level changes after each exam session. Our teachers are constantly assessing the children, and will place them where they have the best opportunities to reach their potential and be happy.
