Determination Discovery

e academic life of Peponi is guided by two key principles: to encourage pupils to make decisions about their learning & to inspire Discovery & Determination. We hope to educate pupils to know as broadly & to think as independently & incisively as possible. We work to enable our pupils to achieve their academic ambitions & to develop the qualities & insight needed to become leaders of the future.

e School is a learning community, where teachers & pupils alike, aspire to foster a love of learning & understanding. Both the curricular & co-curricular provisions are seen as important elements to reach our aims & are required to achieve life long learning. We place learning at our core as a means to meeting individual goals.

Peponi is not an academically selective school, however, academic rigour & a love of learning are core to achieving the aims of the School.

Teachers are committed to empowering all pupils with the knowledge & skills they need to realise their potential. Pupils learn what is needed to prepare fully for public examinations & are expected to aim high, & attend universities overseas.

Peponi o ers a rich & rewarding curriculum for pupils from 13 to 18 years of age; with a wide range of subjects that allow our pupils to develop their Options & Opinions with regard to their future. We follow the English National Curriculum for England & Wales which is organised into blocks of years called ‘key stages’. Year 9 (pupils aged between 13 and 14) marks the end of Key Stage 3, with the Peponi curriculum emphasising breadth & links between subjects.

Years 10 & 11 (Key Stage 4; pupils aged between 14 & 16) constitute a two-year cycle during which pupils prepare for IGCSE examinations (International General Certi cate of Secondary Education). Pupils carry on with ten subjects, six of which are the compulsory core subjects: English Language & Literature, Mathematics & the three Sciences.

Following IGCSE examinations pupils move into the Sixth Form (Key Stage 5) & take Advanced Levels (A Levels). A Levels constitute another two-year cycle & are highly specialised. Our range of options allow pupils to take closely clustered subjects from within one faculty area, or retain a broad interest by mixing subjects from di erent faculty areas. We o er a choice of 20 di erent subjects at both IGCSE & A Level.

At Peponi, emphasis is on engendering Passion & Participation in sport. Over recent years the School has been developing an array of activities, allowing large numbers of pupils to represent the School in a variety of di erent areas. Involvement in sport is expected to encourage a healthy spirit for competition & a teamsports ethos, promoting physical health, tness & social interaction. e School boasts strong xture lists against other schools, as well as a number of ercely contested internal House competitions.

We have built an impressive reputation for sporting prowess over the last decade & our pupils continue to strive for more. In this, they are joined by a team of specialised coaches who understand how to motivate & hone their teams’ skills.

We believe sport develops pupils’ con dence through physical, technical & tactical activities which helps individuals develop enjoyment, discipline, independence, camaraderie & teamwork.

From the beginner to elite athlete, pupils’ games choices are controlled so that every pupil engages in a major sport. With so much scope, the School’s activities programme allows pupils to sample more unusual activities in some sessions.
