Life as a Senior

Our Senior School in Hartford is home to a vibrant community of students, including our Sixth Formers. Its campus-like grounds bustle with activity, yet still feel calm and spacious - the perfect place to study.

Modern, forward-thinking independent education

OUR SENIOR SCHOOL IS A warm and welcoming environment built on the strength of relationships between our young people and staff. We blend a modern approach to education with traditional values. The result - students who leave us as well-rounded, smart, creative and thoughtful members of society.

WE BELIEVE OUR PURPOSE IS to provide every child with the experiences, knowledge and academic skills needed as they go out into the world. We are committed to encouraging every member of our wonderful community to aim high and build a future in which they will thrive.

Inclusive, engaging enrichment

WE PLACE SIGNIFICANT EMPHASIS ON our enrichment programme, it is a key part of school life, with lunchtime designed with plenty of time to join clubs and activities. It allows students to take a break from academic work, learn new skills, and enjoy time with friends. These activities help create a balanced day, offering a chance to relax, explore interests, and have fun.

We encourage everyone to take part in a range of enrichment to develop personal skills and qualities. Students can sign up for The Grange Award, which recognises those that make an outstanding contribution to school life through their involvement in 4 key enrichment themes (Active, Culture and Creativity, Intellectual Challenge and Skills, and Community and Charity), as well as supporting their House and other school events.

Pastoral
care

SAFE, LISTENED TO, AND CARED FOR. The Grange School excels in Pastoral Care, helping all our students feel safe, listened to, and cared for. We place enormous value and importance on supporting our young peoples’ overall wellbeing, mental health: encouraging good friendships, and dealing with any problems like bullying or stress.

Good pastoral aims to ensure every student feels happy, confident, and ready to learn. It's about making sure no one is left behind, both in the classroom and in life, we prepare students for more than just exams. Our school community is built on kindness, respect, and trust—making it a place where everyone belongs and is encouraged to be their best self every day.
