Master learner programme

Twickenham School students are encouraged to challenge themselves in every lesson, and through a variety of enrichment opportunities. We expect, with the guidance of skilled teachers and leadership, all our students to strive for the best outcomes and become Master Learners.


What is the Master Learner Programme?

The Master Learner Programme (MLP) has been designed to help guide students in their transition to further study, to develop academic and transferable skills and reach beyond their GCSE targets.

The experiences timetabled within the MLP programme enables all students, in all years, to achieve their full potential, including more able provision which is embedded to provide a vast range of opportunities to ensure our most able students thrive.

All students are welcome to participate in Master Learner activities and the below strategies are used to nurture every student; supporting and accelerating learning and personal growth. Subject teachers however will identify students who have shown particular potential in their subject area and invite them to participate within the programme.


Already underway, we are pleased to publish the Spring Term Master Learner Calendar. Opportunities representing a wide variety of challenging, and aspirational experiences are available throughout the term across subjects. With a range of selective and open-to-all prospects, we encourage families and students to explore as many of them as possible to enrich and enhance their potential.  Where will the MLP take you?

Follow us on social media to keep up to date with the events as they happen…
