The Middle School at Sevenoaks | Page 5

INTRODUCTION

The Middle School is large , cosmopolitan , and vibrant . Every student is urged to be curious , creative , critically aware , and to develop their interests and talents to the full .
The Sevenoaks School Middle School Curriculum is designed to develop the life of the mind . We have a broad range of academically ambitious courses that prepare students well for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in the Sixth Form .
Breadth is central to the Sevenoaks ethos and a key principle underpinning the IB . So too is coherence . We have designed a structure for the Middle School Curriculum to embody our educational vision : the Sevenoaks School Diploma . As with the IB Diploma , a unique core connects and informs a balanced range of subjects , assessed through a combination of qualifications ( IGCSE and GCSE ).
Our Middle School Curriculum aims to inspire , challenge , and satisfy the intellectual curiosity and open-minded approach to learning that characterises a Sevenoaks student .
