At the end of each academic year, the school community decides on the theme that will be explored throughout the following school year. The theme is reflected in many activities and school events. It appears in the teaching of all subjects, which enables students to observe its complexity. Exploring a particular theme also gives teachers the opportunity to explore cross-curricular connections.
Departments organise different activities including competitions. The Literary Festival and the very popular Culture olympiad have their main focus on the Theme of the year, which is always a creative challenge for all students. There are also lectures connected with the theme and sometimes even the charities.
Examples over the years have been Czech/British connections, Internationalism, Nature and the Environment, Technology, Time, Roots, The Star, The Earth, The Dream, The Heart and the Circle.
