FUTURE SCHOOLS

All pupils are encouraged to become inquisitive, independent learners who leave Terra Nova as happy and confident young people, able to achieve their potential and ready to take on the challenges of Senior School and beyond. 

Terra Nova School feeds to a wide variety of senior schools, both day and boarding and at 11+ and 13+. The preparation for senior schools is relatively individualised. This is exemplified specifically by the high number of scholarships Terra Nova pupils achieve to senior schools in varying disciplines. Additionally, the challenge of the Common Entrance curriculum (concluded with examinations in English, Maths, Biology, Physics Chemistry and French in the June of Year 8) provides an excellent and testing precursor to the GCSE curriculum.

​In terms of day schools, we feed to all of the excellent day schools in the area, these include:

  • The Manchester Grammar School
  • Manchester High School for Girls
  • The Grange School
  • Cheadle Hulme School
  • The King’s School, Macclesfield
  • Newcastle-under-Lyme School
  • Alderley Edge School for Girls

In terms of boarding schools, we feed to some of the leading schools in the country including: 

  • Shrewsbury School
  • Sedbergh School
  • Eton College
  • Repton School
  • Millfield School
  • Denstone College
  • Cheltenham Ladies College
  • Malvern College
  • Downe House
  • Stowe School
  • Marlborough College
  • Uppingham School

Information on our recent senior school successes can be found on our Future Schools Infographic.

Pupils have enjoyed considerable success in recent years in gaining places and scholarships at their first choice of senior school, many of which have rigorous academic selection criteria.
