A two-year adventure, providing the platform for GCSE success.
Middles (Year 10) and Fifths (Year 11) at Haileybury represent a vital period of personal and academic development, culminating in (I)GCSE public examinations in the summer term of Fifths (Year 11).
Underpinned by a philosophy of academic curiosity and joyful learning, these two years are designed to support pupils in discovering their unique academic interests. Pupils build on the foundations of ‘learning how to learn’ established in Lower School and Removes, and continue to strengthen their executive functioning skills and learning habits during these key years.
All pupils study the subjects below, ensuring future academic options remain entirely open:
Pupils then personalise their academic pathway by selecting four options, offering flexibility to pursue a broad, varied selection of subjects across modern languages, humanities, classical subjects, technology and the arts.
The curriculum is further enriched by dedicated Wellbeing and Reading classes, which refine the skills necessary for academic success.
