Each classroom is modern and comfortable with central heating and air-conditioning. Equipped with an interactive whiteboard and internet access, lessons are conducted using teachers’ laptops, which are projected onto the whiteboard, facilitating modern and varied teaching methods. Notice boards provide display space for class work and projects. Individual desks provide a personal workspace for each student.
The recently renovated and upgraded Biology Lab is fully equipped to facilitate the needs of both students and teachers, with much of the teaching being conducted using interactive whiteboards. The lab has all the necessary equipment to cover the requirements of both the IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level syllabi, including biological models, potometers, spirometers, colorimeters, incubators, high quality microscopes and apparatus for microbiology studies.
The Chemistry Lab was first established as a centre for GCE practical examinations in 1996. It has since been renovated several times and has become a distinctive feature of our chemistry education. Fully equipped to meet the standards of the Edexcel specification, it gives our students hands-on experience with modern instrumentation and the opportunities to engage in experiments that develop their logical and analytical skills. This well-designed lab features a safe, productive, and hazard-free environment to empower students’ comprehension of scientific concepts.
The Science Lab is designed to cater for the requirements of the Science syllabus in the Lower School, Classes 1 to 3. It is fully equipped for conducting the necessary experiments to facilitate learning and knowledge of scientific principles at this level.
The Edexcel-approved Physics Lab is fully equipped with laboratory stations designed for groupwork and utilises interactive whiteboards and Apple TV for efficient teaching.
The role of the laboratory is essential in IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level Physics. Experiments are designed to critically engage students’ minds to acquire the manual and mental skills associated with learning Physics. Laboratory activities are an integral part of the learning process to enable students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and principles of Physics.
The Innovation Centre, which was established in 2015, is equipped with the latest technologies and includes three modern, comfortable areas which are made up of the Study Area, the Innovation Lab and the Robotics Lab. Here, the students can take part in the STEM Programme, where they have hands-on training. It is a flexible environment where various teaching modalities are accommodated focusing especially on a student centric approach. Its up-to-date technology and equipment include robotics, 3D printing facilities, 3D projectors and glasses, 3D printers, laptops and educational robotics and electronic equipment.
There are three fully equipped computer labs fitted with interactive whiteboards to incorporate modern teaching methods. All the computers available for the students are multimedia, networked and use LCD monitors.
All computers utilise popular application software to meet a wide range of academic needs. To enable students to carry out research and complete projects, all computers have internet access and printing facilities.
Textbooks and e-books for all classes may be purchased from The Grammar School Bookstore. The bookstore also stocks all the required school uniform and PE kit except for Grammar School skirts and trousers which may be purchased from a specific local retailer.
Our school library houses a vast collection of books, both fiction and non-fiction, on a variety of topics. With the help of the teacher on duty, as well as student members of the English Reading Club, students, of all ages, can find and borrow the book that is right for them. Literacy is promoted and a love of reading is fostered in the quiet and welcoming space we have created.
The Grammar School has a large Conference Hall which accommodates approximately 200 guests. The Hall is used as a venue for a variety of activities ranging from educational and career-based seminars, lectures and book exhibitions, to creative and fun activities.
The raised stage area allows guests to offer presentations and speeches and is used for visiting lecturers. Equipment including a projector, monitor and sound system, support lectures and educational activities. In addition, these facilities are made available to classes during the academic year so that students can develop their presentational and oral skills in professional surroundings. With specialised lighting, the area also acts as a permanent exhibition area for students’ artwork.
The Grammar School has a First Aid Station located in the main administration building. It is operated by a qualified nurse who deals with any injuries which may occur at school or other basic medical needs or emergencies which may arise. The First Aid Station is fully equipped, including three defibrillators at various locations around the school which can be used by trained staff in case of emergencies. There are sub-stations around the School at the PE courts, Futsal court, Swimming Pool area, The Grammar Junior School, labs and canteens.
