A word from Nick Haines, Head of Years 7-11
Our Years 7-11 site is dedicated to day students and covers a broad curriculum from Key Stage 3 through to GCSE. Kindness, inclusivity, and the personal success of every student are at the heart of everything we do. We work in partnership with our parent community to make this a reality, offering a strong network of support.
Through small class sizes, tailored teaching, and a wide range of opportunities, we help to realise the potential of every individual. As well as having a shared enthusiasm for learning, our vibrant and welcoming site abounds with creative energy and laughter. Our school is rich in possibility and opportunity. Students are encouraged to think deeply about topics in the curriculum, and give new passions and hobbies a try from our extensive co-curricular provision.
An education here helps students develop into active, empathetic, and confident individuals ready for the next steps in education. We have been described as ‘a school of energy, laughter and achievement’ and that’s true; our community feels like an extended family where everyone is encouraged to challenge themselves and live life to the full.
Why choose d'Overbroeck's Years 7-11?
Years 7-11 at d’Overbroeck’s is a co-educational day school, drawing students from the local area and further afield. Years 7-11 covers a broad curriculum from Year 7 through to GCSE. Students are encouraged to enjoy learning, to be curious and think outside the box. We value choice, engagement and enjoyment, and offer plenty of opportunities for students to try new things and develop their talents.
Our students all have unique strengths, and we work with each individual to find ways to celebrate these. Our academic staff work together with an extensive pastoral team to ensure every student in our care feels nurtured, and knows that we believe in them. What matters to us is that students learn best when they are happy, working with staff who are passionate about their subject, and who teach in interesting and creative ways to help students achieve academic excellence in a warm, caring environment. By focusing on what they love, our students can enjoy a fulfilling education.

On Friday 12 May, our personal development staff prepared well-being sessions for our 11i students ahead of the start of the core exam season. They chose from various sessions, including creative Lego building, ‘around the world’ table tennis, daisy chains, meditation, a walk to university park... and maths games. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day and they very much enjoyed being outdoors for most of these sessions. The 11is have been working incredibly hard in the run up to their examinations and appreciated the opportunity to have some fun and relax for a small part of their day. We encourage students to consider their mental health and to always ensure that they make some time to have fun and relax with friends. This is a very important ingredient to achieving success. 🌼

🌟 Careers Fair Success! 🌟
The Sixth Form was buzzing with excitement during our incredible Careers Fair! 🎉 The event was filled with engaging workshops, inspiring talks, a fantastic lineup of stands, and valuable networking opportunities. Students in attendance were able to attend... talks and workshops, build relationships with former d'Overbroeck's students and industry professionals, explore industries and study options, and learn about key employability skills. Many of our alumni were there to speak with our students about what they're doing now – including Lina, who left The International School three years ago but flew over from Rome just to attend the event!

We are excited to invite you to the International School’s GCSE Art Exhibition on Thursday 8 June from 4-6 pm at d'Overbroeck's Arts Centre. This event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the incredible creativity and hard work of our talented Art students.
Over the course ...of this academic year, 11i GCSE Art students have developed 2 large-scale projects, covering themes such as ‘Leftovers’, ‘Wounded Landscapes’, ‘Journey’, ‘The News’ and ‘Isolation’, amongst others. Students have used these to initiate a personal investigation, working across a wide and unconventional range of materials, leading to exciting outcomes. Students have often made links and references to their hometowns and countries, reflecting on aspects of their own cultures. This creates a vibrant, personal, and very global-minded exhibition, where they each share highlights of their journey.
Everyone is welcome to attend this event and show their support for our budding artists – but please make sure to book. It will be a fantastic opportunity to view a wide range of artwork, including paintings and mixed media pieces, all created by our talented International School students.
So, mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable evening of art and creativity. We can't wait to see you there!
Date: 8 June
Time: 4-6pm
Location: d'Overbroeck's Arts Centre

In their #Science lessons recently, our Year 7s have been looking at how photosynthesis is essential to life on Earth, and how the energy that plants trap from the sun is transferred through the food chain. They have looked at the interaction between species and then made some amazing posters on ...the life cycles of ocean species! Here are some of their lovely posters.
