Course Information
At Wallington County Grammar School, our motto – Per Ardua ad Summa, ' Through Difficulties to the Heights' is at the heart of everything we do. Our broad and deep curriculum challenges and inspires students, building their knowledge and confidence across a wide range of subjects. Alongside this academic excellence, strong pastoral care ensures every student is supported to thrive personally and academically.
Our curriculum reflects four key intents. They are :
Breadth - we intend to provide a broad, academic and liberal curriculum that equips students with the body of human knowledge and different ways of thinking necessary to succeed in and enjoy their education, careers and wider lives.
Depth - we do not want our students to simply study the national curriculum and examination specifications with grades being our sole focus. We aim for our students to become true scholars of the disciplines that they are learning so that they achieve a deep and sophisticated level of knowledge and understanding.
Values - we aim for our students to develop our four core values of commitment, courage, compassion and creativity.
Democracy - we aim for all our students to have the necessary knowledge and confidence, not just to participate in the democracy of the United Kingdom, but to lead it.
