Muirden Today

The College is quite different to other secondary schools. Opportunity and freedom are two features students experience while studying with us. We do not have uniforms, and students are expected to share responsibility for their learning with their teachers. It is a much more informal environment than a 'traditional' school, but with academic study being the primary focus.

Students are encouraged to set and strive for their own personal goals, regardless of their social or cultural background. They are helped by a team of highly qualified, specialist teachers.

Teachers work closely with students creating a nurturing, relaxed environment, offering one-on-one support when needed. Small classes enable a degree of flexibility in the teaching of curriculum allowing teachers to respond to the needs of students on an individual level. This supportive and cooperative atmosphere, along with the lesson structure, helps students to make the transition between school and university.
