Each child in the senior division is placed in a form with which he or she is registered twice daily by the Form Teacher. In Year 7 and 8, most subjects are taught in form groups.
The Form Teachers are responsible to the Year Heads, who encourage year group activities. The major pastoral responsibility is undertaken by the Year Heads together with the Assistant Head (Pastoral).

Pupils from all years mix together in many school societies, in music, in drama productions, in excursions, in the dining room and elsewhere.
Each part of the school is supervised during morning break and the lunch hour by a teacher on duty, aided by Senior Pupils. The Seniors wear a distinctive tie, which makes them instantly recognisable to any younger pupil who may require assistance.
During lunch hour, pupils are encouraged to take part in as many activities as possible: Art Club, Design Technology, IT Club, French and Spanish conversation, Library, Table Tennis, Chess, Music, Drama, Geography, Football, Athletics and Judo.
The Senior Department School Council
The School Council provides a forum in which the views of pupils may be heard on a very diverse range of issues that are of concern to them in school.
Each form elects a representative who normally serves for one term. Likewise the staff elect a representative for one term. The Headmaster is the only permanent member of the Council.
Whilst the School Council is not a decision-making body, it does provide pupils with valuable experience regarding the etiquette of meetings and an opportunity to develop their communication skills.
Minutes of each meeting are taken and representatives are required to 'report back' to their peers.
The staff are always impressed by the mature approach and valuable contribution that pupil representatives bring to the Council Meetings. The School Council played a very important role in the formulation of the 'Anti-Bullying Policy'.
