Something people don't know about you: I loved my school days. I loved the friendships and the learning, the outdoor space and the school trips, the teachers and the sport. I squeaked away badly on my violin, I sang with tuneless confidence and loved being on the stage. In fact the only thing I disliked was the school food.

All good schools will ensure that your children have an excellent academic experience, they will aim high for your children and support them on their journey, regardless of their individual starting point. As a school we invest in the very best teaching staff who can engage, encourage and inspire your children to achieve academically. We have children here who will go on to academic excellence at highly selective schools, we also have children who will find the lessons in maths and English difficult, or who may find the intricacies of modern languages perplexing. Regardless of your child’s academic potential we will ensure that they are supported and extended to aim high and be the best they can be.

The inside track from a current parent

The school makes every effort to know each individual child and works with the child to pursue his/her interests and cater for their needs. This produces happy, confident yet humble little human beings. It has bought out the best in both of my very different children.

As parents we love...

The personable yet clear communication
The fun stories from their school day
The effort and support given to new parents to make them feel as part of a community.

As pupils we love...

The sport
The school desserts!
The school trips opportunities – PGL, Prague, Cordoba, Skiing, France Lanzarote – this is a deliberate attempt to reward the kids after doing the 11+ in Y6 and what an incentive it is!!
