Sunmarke ignites curiosity and creativity with a globally leading programme in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) from EYFS to Year 13, which uses next generation, immersive technologies to provide an incredible range of learning opportunities to become future ready. Students can travel in space and time, back to prehistoric history or future colonies on Mars; visit planets, foreign countries or museums learning of other people, cultures and environments; visualise the science of how things really work at a molecular level; practise public speaking; and so much more. We are making the impossible, possible.

Sunmarke is a global leader in Positive Education (PosEd). PosEd is the heart of our culture and woven throughout our school, where teachers deliver an outstanding education by developing not just academics and achievement but also character, values and wellbeing. PosEd enables children to learn more effectively and become more resilient, creative and enterprising, as well as happier and healthier adults.

Sunmarke offers a rigorous and high-impact education in the IB and A Levels, as well as the BTEC for the vocationally inclined.

Students design and fabricate steel, wood and acrylic prototypes plus mechanical, electrical, and control systems while creating autonomous programming. Students also learn deep coding and programming skills. Critical thinking, teamwork and project management are integrated throughout the programme.

Students develop an entrepreneurial mindset of creative problem-solving, resourcefulness and resilience, and the ability to seek opportunity. They study strategic management, operations, marketing, organisational design and entrepreneurship delivered in partnership with the globally renown University of Birmingham. The programme includes Sunmarke’s Venture Incubator, where students work on group projects pitched to Sunmarke’s Shark Tank judges.

Students are given the opportunity to further develop their talents through a deeply arts-infused programme in Music, Theatre, the Visual Arts and/or Dance.

Secondary students who have a passion for understanding and preserving our planet and natural environment explore courses in Geography, Ethics, Economics and Biology, and complete their own Independent Research Project.

Secondary students attend a partner boarding school abroad broadening their historical, linguistic and cultural knowledge while maintaining Sunmarke’s high academic standards and emphasis on character, values and skills development.

Sunmarke uses a best of class online platform to augment in-class learning and deliver remote learning. Features include Microsoft Class Teams, MS OneNote and SeeSaw, supplemented with a host of apps and Sunmarke’s Artificial Intelligence Learning Platform where students stretch learning through self-guided study and practice in problem-solving in a range subjects.

Guidance to the world’s top universities; inspiration from industry professionals and entrepreneurs through our “Think & Thrive” speaker series; partnerships with leading industry corporates for workplace internships; and extensive career counselling – are part of every student’s journey at Sunmarke so that students are given an insight into a variety of careers while still at school; develop real-world skills; and are better prepared for the workforce after university.

With worldclass facilities, Sunmarke has a rich and diverse Enrichment programme with over 60 extracurricular activities to suit every child’s interests from sports to the performing arts (drama, dance, ballet and music), the World Scholars Cub, the Model UN, the Sunmarke Gazette (combining a physical newspaper, online blog, podcasts and online videos), Sunmarke Rocks (a rock ‘n roll band), and clubs for cheerleaders, science, math, reading and more. Students also participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards pursuing a variety of interests and developing confidence, resilience and teamwork skills.

Sports Heroes Academy (SHA), a nationally recognised initiative, is an extracurricular activity where Sunmarke students volunteer to help over 60 Children of Determination and provide them opportunities to engage in sports to further their cognitive development. In helping Children of Determination, our students in turn develop their compassion and empathy, gratitude and a deeper understanding of other children.
