An extra Year 7 class is established each year, providing enrolments opportunities for up to 16 boys. When combined with the previous years Year 6 class of 24, the Year 7 cohort is divided into two classes, with a maximum of 20 pupils per class.
The intermediate years are characterised by significantly increased use of specialist teachers, with less time spent in “home” rooms. In the core subjects of English and mathematics classes may be further split and ability streamed. This ensures that all pupils receive greater attention pitched at a level that is appropriate for their individual needs.
As senior pupils in the school more is expected of the boys in respect to leadership activities. In particular, at Year 8 level, all boys are expected to lead by example. Additionally, specific leadership roles are bestowed on the Head Boy, Deputy Head Boy, House and Sport Captains. Additionally, other leadership positions are awarded across a number of activities, such as Head of Orchestra, Choir leaders and Sacristans.
The Intermediate years are focused on instilling more responsibility in the boys and preparing them for a seamless transition to a secondary school of their choice.
