Challenge and Potential
At Park Lane, we offer a challenging academic programme and a supportive environment that fosters a reflective, open-minded, and inquisitive approach to learning. Our goal is to prepare students for the evolving future by ensuring excellence in teaching and learning.
Through engaging and stimulating lessons, we encourage students to embrace challenges, build resilience, and take ownership of their learning journey. We strive to help all students achieve their full potential, both inside and outside the classroom, by promoting hard work and participation in a wide range of extracurricular activities.
We proudly support the NACE mission: “To provide for pupils with high abilities whilst enabling all pupils to flourish.“
At Park Lane, we are committed to offering both challenge for those who seek it and support for those who need it.
Park Lane Scholarly Society
Our most able students in KS4 and KS5 are invited to participate in the Park Lane Scholarly Society. We recognise that to thrive academically and be successful when applying to the most prestigious universities in the world, our students need to develop skills that go beyond top grades. This is why we nurture them in developing four strands of the PL Scholar:
- Academic performance
- True passion and intellectual curiosity
- Effective communication
- Leadership
Participants of the PL Scholarly Society have regular sessions with academic coaches to keep them accountable, supported and motivated to develop and grow in the four strands. These qualities not only align with our philosophy of building life long learners but are also the most sought after in prospective candidates to Oxbridge and Ivy league universities.
Exceptional academic performance
Park Lane students achieve well. They supercharge their academic performance through participation in Maths Competitions, Science and Robotics Olympiads or interdisciplinary competitions such as Foodathon or World’s Scholar Cup. They can engage in the Young Historian Project, join COBIS poetry competition or take B1 exams in modern foreign languages.
Leaders
Park Lane students develop their leadership skills showing initiative and driving change as members of the School Council, organising House Events, MUN conferences (for more than 100 participants from all over the world) or mentoring younger peers through Park Lane Mentoring Programme. They are dynamic and driven and can test their leadership skills during Careers Day and at KS5 they lead community and service projects as a part of CAS.
Effective Communicators
Park Lane students develop their skills to communicate with ease and flair trough participation in Model United Nation, running and supporting TED talk club or writing for the school magazine: The Oracle. They can also develop oracy through Debate club or English Speaking Exam Board qualification.
Intellectually curious
Park Lane students are supported and inspired to explore and pursue their areas of interest outside of lessons. From sharing reading lists, suggesting research opportunities to pairing up with PL alumni and inviting remarkable speakers, our teachers relentlessly guide students’ growth and build their independence as curious and independent learners.
