We genuinely believe that content students have a higher chance of academic success. to be able to take advantage of the best opportunities. This includes outstanding teaching in all subjects, subsidised music lessons, excellent facilities, a Scholarship scheme and a huge range of extra-curricular clubs and trips. to cultivate the leaders of tomorrow. A number of schemes are in place, including Debate Leaders, Sports Leaders, Student Leaders and the Royal Navy Cadets, to enable the students to further their leadership skills and La Retraite students can be seen at numerous events organising and leading.
