Overview
Overview
Dixie Grammar School has kept its Senior School deliberately small, with Market Bosworth as the setting for a selective co-educational community from age 3 to 18. The Sixth Form remains part of that same community, with close pastoral attention and older pupils able to act as role models for younger years.
Senior pupils study English, mathematics, science, history, geography, languages, art, music, drama, design technology, computer science, religious studies, PE and PSD. Specialist teaching and learning support sit alongside GCSE and A Level choices, while PSD joins personal development to citizenship, careers and co-curricular activity.
Hockey pitches, tennis courts and playing fields support a programme that reaches beyond lessons into sport, music, drama, adventure and outdoor activity. House events connect age groups, and the values of respect, resilience, courage, commitment and care give the small-school model a clear vocabulary.
Senior entry starts with a visit and conversation, followed usually by a taster day and entrance examinations in late January. Assessment is used to place pupils as well as to judge readiness, rather than functioning as a simple pass-or-fail test. Junior pupils can transfer automatically, while scholarship candidates complete the relevant assessment.
