There is another traditional academic stream operating within the school. It is called the Saul Class and was established for pupils who attain ‘grammar school’ standards.

Pupils placed alongside their peers, following educational programmes designed to match their abilities, respond well to the challenge and reach high levels of attainment.

Standards are rigorous and progress within the class is rapid.

Admission to the ‘grammar school’ class is by an entrance assessment examination which tests pupils’ aptitude in Mathematics, English, the Sciences and Jewish Studies. High standards of personal conduct are also a requirement for admission.

Pupils in the Saul class are expected to achieve excellent GCSE qualifications and to progress successfully through the Sixth Form to gain a place at a good university.
