| First and Second Forms
The First Year is divided into four or five
parallel Forms: and there is a
similar division in the Second Year. All boys follow the
same syllabus in all subjects. The First Forms follow an
integrated
Science course: in the Second Forms the three Sciences are
taught separately. No previous knowledge of French and Latin
is
assumed. There is no setting or streaming at this stage
and boys are taught in their form group.
The allocation of teaching periods is given
in the following table:
