At secondary school you will study a wide range of subjects. Unlike primary school where you mainly have one teacher who takes your class for all the different subjects, at The Green School for Boys each subject will be taught by a specialist teacher, sometimes in a room with equipment specific to that subject. This will help you to do the best you can in every subject area.
