Answer questions by referring to the following description of three schools.
Which school…
A
Ellesmere College is one of the fastest-growing independent schools in the country over the past two years, with pupils numbers rising by almost 20%. The growth has led to a $1 million investment program in 1999 and the building of a new lower school for boys and girls aged nine to thirteen. The new lower school will be the largest single building project at the college since its foundation in 1884.
In the senior school, two-thirds of the pupils are boarders, and boarding is available from the age of 11. The sixth form is strong with over 120 pupils; there is an exceptionally wide-range of A-level subjects on offer and the College has pioneered the use of video conferencing technology as a way of improving its curriculum. Microsoft Office qualifications are also available in the sixth form.
The College is set in extensive grounds in the beautiful North Shropshire Lake District. Facilities are excellent and various, and include many sports fields, six MI-weather tennis courts, indoor and out-door shooting ranges, a nine-hole golf course and a purpose-built theater. The College sailing club has boats within walking distance on Whitemere.
The majority of the day pupils at the College enjoy the College bus service which covers a very wide area. Boarding throughout the School has benefited from a recent multimillion pound refurbishment which has done away with dormitories in favor of modern, comfortable rooms, the largest sleeping six, but most sleeping two or one.
Academic standards are high for a school with a broad entry range. Many scholarships are awarded across a range of talents, but the emphasis of an Ellesmere education is firmly on breadth with each pupil achieving his or her full potential, whatever that may be. Recent pupil successes range from international honors in shooting, fencing and canoeing to a recent leaver’s election—after only one year as an undergraduate—to an Exhibition in Chemistry at Jesus College, Oxford. The College has a national reputation for the quality of its dyslexia provision.
B
The choice of the right school for your son or daughter is important. For over 100 years Edgehill College has proudly prepared independently-minded young people to take their place in a world of rapidly advancing technology.
The foundations of a sound education are laid down early in life. Edgehill does this within the friendly walls of its prep school. Learning through enjoyment begins at the age of three and continues to the point where pupils can proceed smoothly and confidently into senior school.
Entry to the prep school is by interview and to the senior school by examination at 11+, 12+, 13+ and 16+.
Edgehill is a friendly, caring and purposeful community with a fame for high academic achievement. Students are encouraged to reach their potential and develop their talents to the full. A reputation for achievement in music and drama is matched by outstanding results in sports, for which Edgehill students enjoy some of the finest facilities in the West Country. There are excellent recreational opportunities in the contrasting beauties of the North Devon coast and Dartmoor.
The College motto "Beyond the Best There Is a Better" can certainly sum up the achievements of Edgehill students. The accolade of winning the Schools Curriculum Award in 1997 gave Edgehill national recognition and, recently, the College has been chosen as a National Coaching Foundation Center, confirming its place as a leading southwest school.
Parents naturally worry when their children are away at school so great emphasis is placed on pastoral care. Edgehill is more than a school with high standards of education; it prides itself on tradition, firm but friendly discipline and a keen sense of moral values.
The demands of the world of the future, changes in family lifestyle and in work patterns serve only to underline the advantage of an Edgehill education where qualifications matched by confidence and good manners enable students to make their mark in whatever career they choose.
All this makes Edgehill College a rather special school—a school that offers the best for your children.
C
The School has exceptional facilities for academic work, including good laboratories, an attractive circular library and separate areas for music, drama, craft, art and design, technology and business studies. There is a fine chapel and well-equipped medical Center. Sporting facilities include a new sports hall, finished and equipped to the highest international standards, as well as an indoor swimming pool, 12 tennis courts and superb playing fields. The School is set in 300 acres, 30 minutes from central London and Heathrow International Airport.
The School caters for girls of average ability and above but it is not narrowly academic. The core subjects of the national curriculum offer a balanced basic education. A wide range of GSCE options provides courses for girls of varying abilities and interests.
Regular high standard performances in music and drama, public speaking and debating are important preparation for adult life. Brownies, Guides, Duke of Edinburgh’s and young Enterprise schemes all flourish, alongside clubs and societies for all ages.
Scholarships for academic merit at every stage. Six scholarships every year are available only the daughters of Freemasons. Additional minor awards for music, art and business studies in the sixth form.
The sixth form offers all the traditional academic subjects at A-level alongside more popular additions like psychology and theatre studies. GNVQ (advanced) in business studies and health and social care provides an alternative vocational pathway to university or a direct route into employment. Every year a number of new girls join at this stage. All have chances for leaderships and responsibility.
The emphasis is on each girl fulfilling her own potential and finding an area in which she can excel. We pride ourselves on building self-esteem and nurturing a generosity of spirit which leads naturally to a desire to serve the community.
