Imberhorne School is leading State Secondary school in East Grinstead. This is a Non-selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Mixed. Imberhorne is a truly comprehensive school, providing an extensive academic curriculum from Years 7 to 13, alongside an enviable range of extra-curricular activities designed to appeal to the widest interests. Students in Years 7 to 9 are educated on the site of the former East Grinstead Grammar School on Windmill Lane, which provides a nurturing environment for their first three years. Years 10 and 11 and large Sixth Form are based at Upper School site on Imberhorne Lane, which has all the specialist facilities and teaching spaces needed for the wide range of examination courses they offer.
They expect students to be prepared to work hard, to meet demanding personal targets and to have the self-belief to meet high expectations. The cornerstones of learning community are compassion, achievement, respect and endeavour. Staff, students and parents support a wide range of activities and events beyond the classroom, reflecting the hugely varied opportunities we provide for students of all ages. Key amongst these are many different arts and sports activities, a significant number of educational trips both within the UK and abroad, as well as very well-established Duke of Edinburgh Scheme. They expect students to participate in the vibrant wider life of the school, believing that such experiences help them develop important life skills and enable them to grow as confident young adults and responsible citizens. They aspire to be a school that really makes a difference to the lives of students, helping to shape them as rounded young people with the skills and qualities that they can transfer into any walk of life or area of employment.
16-19 Bursary: The 16-19 Bursary is a government allocated sum of money given to schools to help support Sixth Formers and their families who may be in financial hardship with the costs of attending full time post-16 education; these could include travel, enrolment contributions, equipment, subject visits etc. Eligibility is based on annual household income and there are several different bursaries that are based on different levels of need. Please note that this bursary is awarded annually so please apply again each year. Students can apply more than once in a year if their circumstances change.
Year 12 students receive their total bursary in 6 equal cheques (one per half term) and Year 13 in 5 equal cheques (because of their early exam period next summer). Students must attend school fully (including morning mentoring, assembly, guided learning hours and subject lessons). Students who fail to do this will lose a proportion of their bursary in line with their attendance rate i.e. if a student’s lesson attendance drops to 90% they will only receive 90% of their bursary for that half term. Small amounts of authorised absence (ie illness) will not affect the payment.
