Academic Extension

Whilst the School’s Scholarship process and academic testing identifies those pupils who may benefit from additional stretch and challenge, the Academic Extension programme is open to all of those who show promise and have an interest in joining. The Head’s Essay Society meets regularly to follow a programme of discussions, debates and tutorials. Students are also encouraged to participate in Science Olympiads, Maths Challenges, Public Speaking, Young Writers’ Competitions and National Theatre Live. Students in Year 12 also attend the annual Able and Ambitious Conference in the Spring Term.

English as an Additional Language

Leweston’s experienced, specialist teachers work with pupils on the skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing from beginner to advanced levels. EAL lessons are provided as part of the curriculum as an alternative to studying a Modern Foreign Language and those students who want to extend their skills can have individual or group teaching on a paying basis. There is the option for native speakers may be entered for examinations without tuition.
