The key to villa success Whether it’s a multi-generational family get-together or a romantic retreat that you’re after, The Thinking Traveller’s range of luxury destinations will enable you to spend quality time together in exceptional surroundings The Thinking Traveller’s villas are available exclusively through them

lanning a holiday as a small family? Organising a multigenerational get-together? Travelling with the grandparents? Jetting off with friends? No matter your requirements, you’ll find something perfect amongst The Thinking Traveller’s impressive roster of villas, which includes five-star oases of fully-serviced luxury (the Think Exquisite range), seafront summer houses, charming trulli, romantic retreats, and much more. The Thinking Traveller was conceived one night in 2000 on the volcanic island of Stromboli, in Sicily’s Aeolian archipelago. As Huw Beaugié, an engineer from the UK, and Rossella d’Anna, a cell biologist from Sicily, descended to the ultramarine waters below, a new life was mapped out. They quit their jobs, founded The Thinking Traveller in 2002, and set about providing discerning travellers with luxurious villas and insightful access to Sicily’s myriad but little-known riches. All the villas in The Thinking Traveller’s portfolio are exclusively available through the company, a unique feature that enables it to create enduring partnerships with its likeminded property owners and to have a direct, hands-on role in quality assurance, something that’s not possible when villas are rented through multiple channels. Another significant aspect of exclusivity is that The Thinking Traveller’s Villa and Experience Specialists (based in London and New York) stay at the company’s properties several times a year and their in-depth

EXPERIENCES INCLUDE: BOAT CHARTERS;

helicopter trips; in-villa wine deliveries and coo s h aliﬁed to r g ides cha ffe red transfers vineyard visits; AND COOKING

knowledge of the villas and destinations is at the full disposal of clients. After arriving at their villa, guests may call upon the infinite resourcefulness and unparalleled knowledge of the company’s locally-based concierges. Available 24/7, they always ensure that guests experience only the very best their destination has to offer. Those booking with The Thinking Traveller don’t just gain access to the most exceptional villas in the heart of the Mediterranean, however: they may also take advantage of the company’s bespoke range of holiday-enriching services and life-enhancing activities. These

Think Experiences include: boat charters; helicopter trips; in-villa wine deliveries and cooks; PhD-qualified tour guides; chauffeured transfers; vineyard visits; and cooking lessons with Michelin-starred chefs. That The Thinking Traveller exceeds expectations there can be no doubt: in 2016, 2017 and 2018, the company’s clients voted it their Favourite Villa Rental Company at the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Travel Awards.

Ellesmere College in Shropshire

Welcome

Last summer we launched our inaugural awards campaign to highlight and celebrate the quality of the independentschool experience. And we were thrilled with the level of response: inspirational, awe-inspiring and innovative projects and programmes are underway in schools from Scotland to Cornwall. It’s apparent that from Pre-Preps to Senior Schools, the independent sector is truly thriving! For those of you who are considering an independent school education for your child, I hope that these pages leave you with a real sense of what life is like at these transformational schools. Here we feature schools whose nominations were highly commended by our panel of judges. Schools are communities made up of hundreds of teachers, support staff, parents and pupils all with a story to tell. Our awards were their chance to do just that. Read about St Hugh’s in Lincolnshire, page 40, and the ground-breaking educational programme which has enhanced its pupils’ learning. Meanwhile, Ellesmere College in Shropshire, page 50, has both present students and alumni who have competed at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Queensland. A winners’ supplement will be out in March, but until then, check out the winners’ list by heading to independentschoolsoftheyear.co.uk. Nominations for our 2019 awards open in the spring, so keep an eye out for our magazines and on our website for entry details…

Tailor made for them When it comes to a good education, one size doesn’t necessarily fit all

Students are taught in smaller groups, which allows for more individual attention

PW, one of the UK’s leading names in Fifth and SixthForm education, offers a distinctive alternative to traditional schools. Its model is based around a strong focus on exam preparation and equipping students with the skills and attitude to succeed at the country’s top universities. Founded in 1973 by three Cambridge graduates, its colleges, based in the heart of London, Birmingham and Cambridge, offer the same broad, highly-flexible curriculum. Students choose their own unique paths, with GCSEs and A-Levels offered in more than 45 subjects. Whichever combination they choose, each student has a personal tutor, who provides them with tailored academic and pastoral support. The teaching method has a focus on individual attention too – students are taught in Oxbridge-style tutorial groups of fewer than 10 pupils. But it’s not just in the academic realm where students can express themselves. Walk over the threshold of an MPW college and you’ll immediately sense the relaxed, yet focused atmosphere. Students are treated like the young adults that they are; there’s no school uniform, they’re on first-name terms with their tutors, they’re not patronised by allowing low behaviour or attainment expectations and they’re encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and their progress. This approach is reflected in a highly

consistent record of exam results; in 2018, the most commonly achieved A-Level result was A*/A. Over the past two years, nearly 500 MPW students have progressed to Russell Group and University of London universities. And how to secure those prestigious university places is also a key element of the MPW experience. Students are given unrivalled support in completing UCAS applications by the same experts who put together the renowned Getting Into series of books, which offers invaluable advice and guidance on how to secure that coveted place at a first-choice university.

AWARDS

DR HELEN WRIGHT, the chair of our inaugural Independent Schools of the Year 2018 awards explains how she and the panel of judges reached their decision when selecting the winners of each of the 18 categories…

t was an enormous pleasure and privilege to be the chair of the judging panel for this year’s Independent Schools of the Year Awards! The panel brought together highly experienced leaders in the world of independent education, representing a number of prominent organisations in the sector, and included judges who were also parents and governors. Between them, they possess an unrivalled combined wealth of wisdom and insight into how great schools operate, and they had a particularly hard task, as there were more than 200 entries from every corner of the UK; the winners were real stars in their field. The focus of these awards was resolutely on student experience, and this shines through in the stories you’ll read in this edition of The Guide to Independent Schools. As parents, above all, you want your child to be happy at school, and the experience

AS PARENTS, ABOVE ALL, you want your child to be happy at school, AND THE EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE DURING THEIR TIME AT THE SCHOOL IS CRUCIAL TO THIS they have during their time at school is crucial to this. For children to become confident and self-assured, they need to feel fulfilled and valued, and have access to opportunities that match their interests and strengths, as well as to be supported in areas which aren’t perhaps their natural forte. This is what parents are – quite rightly – looking for. Great schools – and you’ll read about many of them within these pages – really believe in children and in their ability to grow and develop into the best version of themselves. As judges it was uplifting to see and feel the energy and excitement in the sector. These exciting schools are constantly developing to

respond to the individual needs of their students. There’s indeed a school for every child, and the pupils of today are extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful breadth of choice. The judging process was extremely thorough… and difficult! These captivating stories are a real testament to the efforts of the teachers and school leaders who work so hard to provide for the children in their care. So – enjoy reading these stories of some of the Independent Schools of the Year, and join us in celebrating these positive experiences in schools across the country.

COMMENT

For the many, not the few Independent schools are seen as bastions of privilege by many. However, new bursary and partnership programmes are ensuring wider access for all, says SHAUN FENTON, Head of Reigate Grammar School and the HMC*

*HMC IS THE HEADMASTERS’ AND HEADMISTRESSES CONFERENCE WHICH IS A PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HEADTEACHERS OF LEADING INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS. THE *ISC IS THE INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION AND IS COMPRISED OF 1,300 INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS.

aving been educated in the state and independent sectors, and a headteacher in both, I have a distinctive perspective. We will not eliminate unfairness by attacking independent schools. In the state and independent sectors, there are many world-class schools and there isn’t a huge difference between the quality of education they both offer. The huge gap in quality of education isn’t between the best state schools and the independent sector. The huge gap is between the best state schools and ‘failing’ state schools. Getting rid of independent schools will not reduce the huge unfairness of outcomes between the highest achieving state schools, state grammar schools, and the lowest achieving schools where, in some, many children don’t even get passes at GCSE, never mind get to a top university. Attacking independent schools to improve state-school fairness is the wrong answer to a good question. In fact, by attacking independent schools many of those pupils could then return to the state sector and those new state school places would need funding of £3.5bn every single year, plus a whole load more to build classrooms. Do state schools have lots of spare money? Would families in independent schools send their children to failing state schools and improve them? No, these parents are evidently motivated to get as good an education for their children as they can, so they’d move into catchment areas of outstanding comprehensives, or secure extra tutoring for places in state grammar schools. It would be more unfair not less. We should also remember the economic impact of independents. The 1,300+ schools represented by the ISC*’s associations contributed £11.6bn to the UK economy in 2017, generating £3.5bn of annual tax revenues (equivalent to £129 per UK household) and supporting 257,000 jobs. We shouldn’t forget the children in this picture. Independent schools spend huge amounts on SEN provision and on mental health provision. There are thousands of children being helped by that investment and it doesn’t cost

the tax payer a penny. If the thousands of school nurses, counsellors, mentors and education psychologists were no longer employed because we were closed or found such provision unaffordable then what would happen? Staying focused upon individual children, bursary schemes are significant and growing with independent schools spending over £1m every day and with one in three students being on some form of fee assistance. Our schools are increasingly engaged in partnership work with their local schools and communities. Typically they’ll offer local state schools curriculum support, access to free staff training, help with university applications, access to facilities for sports and the arts and will lend minibuses to state schools or community groups. It seems obvious what is needed: there are key leaders in the state sector, such as Geoff Barton of ASCL (Association of School and College Leaders), pressing the case every chance they have. We should focus upon how to help all state schools be as good as the best state schools. What would help is to fund state schools well, introduce the most effective school improvement reforms and help to persuade more excellent people to train as teachers. Those positive strategies are where we should focus our energies. I believe we should work together aiming not for simply destructive uniformity of provision as a bad proxy for fairness but rather we should be constructive and optimistic, looking for greater consistency of excellence across all schools and for all children.

extracurricular activities and approach to pastoral care. Schools within ISC membership are increasingly providing greater amounts of fee assistance so that families from all walks of life are able to access the high-quality education that independent schools offer. Transformational bursaries widen access to those who could not otherwise afford the fees and almost £400m was provided in meanstested bursaries and scholarships last year. So, what are the different types of school out there?

CHOOSING BETWEEN SINGLE-SEX OR CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOLS Approximately one-fifth of schools within ISC membership are single-sex. The choice of a single-sex or co-educational school could be down to a number of factors, such as your child’s age or what’s available locally.

hoosing the right school for your child is a tricky process with many different factors to take into consideration. Independent schools are diverse, including single-sex schools, boarding and day schools, preparatory (prep) schools, those with specialisms in music, drama or art, schools that cater for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, those that nurture sporting talent, and of course, highly academic schools. Independent schools remain a popular choice for many families and 2018 saw the number of pupils at ISC member schools reach a record total of 529,164. In 2017, nearly two-thirds of GCSE entries at ISC schools received A/7 or higher and close to one-fifth of A-Level entries scored the top A* grade. Most pupils go on to top universities. But parents also choose independent schools because of the

SCHOOLS THAT EXCEL AT NURTURING SPORTING TALENT ARE ABLE TO OFFER excellent facilities often with provision for activities that AREN’T EASILY AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE

Oakham School, Rutland

NARROW IT DOWN So, after learning about all the different schools out there, where do you begin in choosing the right one for your child? Here are our top tips:

SPECIALIST SCHOOLS There are numerous specialist schools for parents to look into, which meet particular requirements that might not be available in schools elsewhere. These range from highly academic, selective schools to cathedral schools, offering pupils the experience of singing in a cathedral choir. If you have a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), they may need extra support and there are many independent schools which offer some of the best SEND provisions in the country.

SPORTY SCHOOLS Schools that excel at nurturing sporting talent are able to offer excellent facilities, often with provision for activities that aren’t easily available elsewhere, such as sailing, climbing, fencing or horse riding. At independent schools generally, sporting opportunities form an essential part of the extracurricular programme, which is much valued by many parents and children. Pupils appreciate the value of physical activity and associated

Canford School, Dorset

health benefits, whether taking part in a specific sport, jogging, gym sessions or other recreational activities.

ARTS SCHOOLS If your child is a budding actor or flourishing musician, many independent schools offer impressive drama and music departments. There are endless opportunities for pupils to get involved in school plays, orchestras or choirs – a fantastic chance for young people to learn how to manage their time, grow in confidence and develop their talent.

BOARDING SCHOOLS Many independent schools take boarders, with a larger number of boarders at Sixth Form. Boarding schools have the advantage of a longer school day, which provides the opportunity for more lessons and activities.

• Attend open days and visit the schools that you’re considering. This is a really important chance to ask questions, get a feel for the school environment and make comparisons. Also visit on a non-open day so you can gain a picture of what the school life day-to-day. Visiting a school on a normal weekday is also essential and enables you to see the school without any open day “spin”. Since every independent school is different, visits will give you a much clearer picture of the type of school you think will best suit your child. When visiting a school pay attention to the behaviour of pupils – are they happy, polite, respectful and well-presented? Do staff and pupils have a good relationship with one another? If you like what you see, arrange an appointment with the Headteacher and take it from there. • Don’t rely too much on exam league-table positions. Ask for value-added or progress data – the important issue is how much children improve and flourish at the school. • Start researching options early. Give yourself time to explore the options and ensure that you’re happy with your final decision.

Children develop with a mixture of learning and play

NAVIGATING NURSERY The Nursery at St John’s College, Southsea aims to instil a lifelong love of learning, writes Headmaster TONY SHRUBSALL

ittle St John’s forms the first steps of a child’s learning journey at St John’s College, Southsea. We welcome children aged two to four years before they make the transition to our Infant, and then Junior School. Our Nursery and Reception classes are housed in modern facilities

at the heart of the school, with plenty of outside space for the children to enjoy. Learning at Little St John’s is colourful, imaginative and creative. We aim to instil a joy of learning and confidence in each child, while promoting the importance of respect for each other. The strong Christian emphasis of kindness, is evident from the start.

Little St John’s learning is colourful, imaginative and creative

Selecting the right Nursery to suit your child is essential and there are several factors to consider when choosing an Early Years setting that provides a solid foundation for a child’s future schooling, and recognises their individual learning needs. Here are several key factors to consider:

LOVE OF LEARNING

EXPERT TEACHING Finding a Nursery where your child is able to grow in confidence and independence, through the help and guidance of experienced and skilled teachers is important. Early Years is such an important stage of a child’s life where they’ll develop independence, build friendships and learn how to share and play. We pride ourselves on our exceptional child-teacher ratio, which allows us to build the confidence of each and every

We want to establish a lifelong love of learning at Little St John’s and want our children to feel inspired and encouraged. It’s important to consider different educational styles when selecting the right Nursery for your child. There are many different approaches to teaching and learning, with some nurseries focusing entirely on learning through play, while others may have a more formalised approach. Our approach is to combine the two and allow the children to progress at their own pace. A key focus on literacy and numeracy, as well as being introduced to

Spanish, is balanced with an approach that encourages the boys and girls to be inquisitive and adventurous in their learning. For example, Little St John’s has implemented an excellent music, song and dance programme called Mini Movers, which is designed to help the development of vital physical, communication and social skills. As a beach school, children enjoy regular outings to Southsea seafront as well as trips to local attractions and museums.

child. With a maximum capacity of 28 children, across two rooms, we’re able to get to know each child individually and teach them in small groups: Seahorses (two-three years) and Turtles (three-four years). Children in our Nursery are able to benefit from specialist teachers who work in the wider school for music, dance and sport lessons. This ensures that even our youngest pupils benefit from subject specialist staff. By sharing the skills of teachers and using excellent facilities across the school, the transition to Reception becomes such a positive experience for the children. They’re introduced to the wider school environment and the opportunities that this provides. For example, they take weekly games sessions in the sports hall

and join our infants for termly concerts and productions, using the school’s drama and stage facilities.

which allows parents to pick up other siblings or work later.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

A key consideration for many parents in selecting a Nursery is the Pre-Prep or Infant School that it feeds into. Many parents enjoy the continuity of education that a school like St John’s College provides. With the anxiety of transition drastically reduced or entirely removed, children can thrive without the worry of

A Nursery needs to accommodate family routines and to allow for flexibility. It’s always worth enquiring about timings and extended provisions. Our Nursery, located in the heart of Portsmouth, provides wraparound care, and is open from 8am–5.30pm, staffed by fullytrained and qualified teachers. Although our Nursery operates during term time only, there are options for parents to choose to follow our term dates or to opt for our extended provision dates and holiday clubs. Additionally, children can do morning sessions, afternoon sessions or all day,

moving to a new setting. From the beginning of their child’s learning journey, parents are encouraged to share their experiences in every way. They join the children on school trips and come in to read with the children, allowing them to become a part of the whole school community. Mr Tony Shrubsall, Head of Junior School at St John’s College, commented “Being a relatively small Nursery, each child at Little St John’s is valued and provided with the opportunities to help them grow into happy, selfconfident children with a love of learning. We equip children with all the necessary skills they need for education beyond their early years. Little St John’s is a unique and exceptional Nursery, where your child can take the very first steps on their exciting educational journey with confidence.” independentschoolparent.com

HAPPY DAYS

Whether it’s a timetabled activity or free play, striking a balance between structure and spontaneity is at the heart of Nursery life at Beaudesert Park in the Cotswolds, says Head of Pre-Prep KIRSTY HENDERSON

any new parents aren’t sure what to expect from nursery. Will their child be happy? Overstimulated? Understimulated? While nobody wants their son or daughter to be faced with a timetable of wallto-wall activities at such a young age, the prospect of a totally unstructured day doesn’t appeal much either. At Beaudesert, we cater for children aged three to school age in our Nursery, and for them our focus is on achieving a happy medium between the two in an essentially child-led setting.

IT’S ALL ABOUT VARIETY On the more structured side of things, there is a different timetabled activity on offer every day of the week. On Monday, it’s Playing in the woods is a popular scheduled activity

swimming in the heated or the outdoor pool; Tuesday is forest school morning in the woods here in the school grounds; on Wednesday, it’s yoga; then ballet takes place in the performing arts centre on Thursday; and on Friday it’s mini judo either in our hall or outside on the top lawn. Being in the country and part of a Prep School means we have plenty of space and access to facilities right here on site, so the children get to do exciting things in different settings, all only a couple of minutes’ stroll away from the Nursery department. To balance out these set activities and give children some free play time, we will create different areas within one big room, all based on the same theme. The children make their way to whichever ones take their fancy. There might be an art attack station outside, a carpet corner challenge, a role play area and so on, with each of the activities themed around the Nursery ‘topic’ of the moment. We choose the

Being attached to a Prep means facilities are right on site

independentschoolparent.com

topics based on subjects in which the children show a keen collective interest. With fairytales such as Jack and the Beanstalk having caught their imagination last term, the current topic is ‘Traditional Tales’. A strong contender for our summer term topic is ‘Under the Sea’ – a perennial favourite, which sees Nursery awash with aquatic, fishy and pirate-themed goings on, culminating in a Pirate Party Day, complete with a visit from Captain Headmaster Hook!

GETTING STUCK IN While the children are getting stuck into the activities of their own choosing, the Nursery team is engaging with each child individually to spot opportunities for him or her to extend their learning using their individual interests as a vehicle. As an example, one little boy was entirely immune to the joys of numbers, but totally dotty about dinosaurs. So, his teacher suggested they line up his assorted dinosaurs for a dinosaur disco and asked him to count them to make sure no one missed the party, and suddenly counting became fun. We call this approach “planning in the moment”. It’s all about good staff knowing the children well enough to be able to capture their imaginations in the first place, and then to think fast and creatively to devise an add-on which will help each child to progress as they play.

Topics also give us scope to encourage risk-taking, storytelling and presentation skills. Learning about The Three Billy Goats Gruff recently saw the children designing boats to help the goats float across the water without disturbing the scary troll under the bridge. With lollipop sticks, Lego and other materials being put to use, the failure rate was high, but this was perfect because it meant the children could simply learn from the previous attempt and bounce back with a different design. Higher on the ‘risk’ scale for some is performing for an audience. Here, we encourage children right from the start to perform in front of others, whether showing off a piece of art, reciting from a poem or acting out Little Red Riding Hood. As well as encouraging them to consider characters, scenarios and feelings, these performances help the children to develop into confident people, happy in their own skin.

ALL-IMPORTANT RELAXATION Fluid, low key downtime is also integral to Nursery life. During these times the children will settle down with a favourite book, or skip outside to play together. We all need to strike the right balance in life. Our parents tell us they feel the Nursery helps them and their children to do just that.

Spontaneous, messy play is just as important for children as structured learning

From acorns to oaks Successfully sowing the seeds for later life starts at ages 4-7 at Oakfield School in South London, says Head of Pre-Prep MOYRA THOMPSON

n a busy, urban South London setting, Oakfield Preparatory School creates opportunities for its Pre-Prep children to explore, not only their immediate school environment, with its large, leafy outdoor space, but also the parks and woods in the wider local area. A strong emphasis on active, outdoor learning with open-ended activities, which give children the chance to explore, discover, question and challenge themselves both physically and intellectually, is a key feature of the Pre-Prep experience here.

we do not adopt a ‘production line’ approach, where we expect all children to emerge the same at the end of the process; nor do we expect all of our children to learn and develop in the same way and at the same rate.

OUTDOOR LEARNING Classroom and outdoor activities are planned to promote enthusiasm, a sense of curiosity and, crucially, a lifelong love of learning. We want our children to acquire knowledge, but going hand in hand with that is a firm commitment to help them learn to think for themselves, take risks and be courageous learners, while developing resilience, teamwork skills and emotional intelligence. Increasingly, I find that parents are wanting to step back from the social pressures of the 11+ transfer to Senior School and to focus

At Oakfield, we lay the foundations from which our girls and boys will develop the full range of their learning and personal skills, with character development nurtured alongside academic education. It is not at all

trite, but rather incredibly powerful, to say that a happy child learns, and this is at the heart of our approach. From our Nursery class of two-year-olds upwards, the emphasis lies in caring for and nurturing each child so that they feel secure, loved and confident at school, and happy and excited to come in each day. This is achieved through the quality of the relationships and interactions with the adults, and a successful Pre-Prep will model this pastoral care from the very beginning. Small classes with high pupil:teacher ratios, coupled with the freedom to extend and enhance the EYFS and National Curriculum learning programmes, enable teachers to invest their time in getting to know the children as uniquely individual with their own personalities, learning styles, interests, skills and aptitudes.

Learning through play encourages problemsolving and increases resilience

instead on finding the school that is right for their child, where pastoral care and mental health and wellbeing will be nurtured, in order for the child to truly become the best that they can be. The Pre-Prep environment helps to encourage this approach by building our parents’ trust and confidence in us as we support and advise them through their child’s educational journey.

STEP UP TO PREP A wide range of extra-curricular clubs, as well as specialist teaching in music, Spanish, PE and a host of other subjects, and wraparound care all serve to broaden the children’s daily experiences. Themed days to celebrate the end of topics such as ‘All Around the World’, ‘Space and Beyond’ or ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ are a rich source of inspiration. Talks from parents to share their jobs, interests or cultural celebrations are a feature of Pre-Prep life, as are visits from older pupils to read, play games or support learning in the classroom as part of their service to the school community. In turn, Pre-Prep children develop their awareness of social responsibility through attending assemblies, school council and house meetings,

WE TEACH philosophy for children and promote a growth mindset approach TO CREATE CONFIDENT, ARTICULATE AND RESPECTFUL YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CAN THINK FOR THEMSELVES as well as helping to organise contributions to our local foodbank and taking care of our outdoor space with the help of brooms, while wearing high-vis jackets! We see this as a vital part of their personal development and transition to Prep School life. The sheer fun, creativity and freedom of making cross-curricular links is enjoyed by teachers and pupils alike, both indoors and outdoors. Using natural materials in art, exploring science through cooking, taking stories as a starting-point, building dens, role-playing in the local woods, looking after the bug hotel, growing, harvesting and cooking vegetables and kite-making are just a few of the many examples. Learning through play and exploration not only develops skills and knowledge, but also, crucially, poses challenges, increases resilience, promotes collaboration and encourages problem-solving – all vital for future success in Prep and Senior Schools, as well as in the world of work.

NO FEAR OF FAILURE At Oakfield we teach philosophy for children and promote a Growth Mindset approach. We believe that this affords a unique opportunity to create confident, thoughtful, articulate and respectful young people who can think for themselves, voice opinions and listen to those of others. There is no fear of failure here; mistakes are how we learn and grow; resilience, perseverance and a ‘can do’ attitude are celebrated and children are supported as they learn to manage frustration, disappointment and even failure. Independence is promoted continually, and our children are encouraged and supported in rising to fresh challenges such as speaking in front of an audience, performing in plays and concerts, interacting with older people from local care homes, taking part in formal occasions such as the recent Remembrance centenary and meeting the variety of animals who come to school, from spiders, reptiles and guide dogs to the Christmas donkeys last term. independentschoolparent.com

LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE The Creative Curriculum is a vital part of education for pupils at Rose Hill Pre-Prep in Kent, writes Head of Later Years ADRIAN BRINDLEY

ounded by educationalist Diane Trister Dodge over 30 years ago, the Creative Curriculum has helped Early Years educators to plan and put in place contentrich, developmentally appropriate programmes that support learning and promote children’s progress. It has also helped teachers to understand what daily routines they need to put in place to respond to a child’s strengths, interests and needs. The Creative Curriculum is something we are passionate about at Rose Hill School. We are very lucky to enjoy 15 acres of glorious outdoor space, including our own woodland area, and we seize every opportunity to take the learning outdoors. Being flexible in our approach is one of the great joys of the independent sector; we have freedom from the constraints of the National Curriculum, and the opportunities that this affords us are immeasurable. The Creative Curriculum allows us to develop children’s imaginations by providing exciting stimuli and then allowing them to explore these for themselves. It is so exciting for the adults to share and celebrate the children’s ideas and enthusiasm, and with guidance, children are

independentschoolparent.com

able to make tremendous progress. While the Creative Curriculum is used primarily in the Pre-Prep, bringing lessons to life and fresh enthusiasm to a topic is just as relevant to our youngest children as it is to our oldest. Whether real or imaginary, we feel that it is only through actual experience that a child can learn to truly empathise with the lives and feelings of others – the more creative we can be with our teaching, the more able we are to offer an overall learning experience. From a drama workshop helping to understand life in the trenches of the First World War, to visiting the school bank and opening their own accounts to start saving money, we are able to provide an interactive experience, rather than just a passive, non-participatory Taking learning outdoors brings immeasurable benefits

education. This approach is further supported by a vast range of co-curricular visits on offer to the children; this year they have already visited Iceland as part of their geography studies. Concentration and determination levels in lessons are high, and children can remain on task for extended periods because they can see the worth of an activity – time flies when you are having fun, and learning becomes embedded and retained because children are more involved in the overall package, from planning ideas to homework completion. In support of the Creative Curriculum, we use our five keys to success: Resilience; Perseverance; Persistence; Confidence; and being able to Get Along. Our youngest children meet the characters Robert

Resilience, Peter Persistence, Penny Perseverance, Connie Confidence and Greta Get Along to help them understand these challenging, but vital traits, while the older children develop further awareness and self-knowledge. Integrity underlies all that we offer and expect from our pupils. At Rose Hill School we have the flexibility to spend additional time focusing on subjects that stir our pupils’ imaginations, the facilities to take learning into new spaces and the talent to make our curriculum as creative as possible. We have found that children will go wherever their interests take them; once we have inspired them, there is no stopping them! There are moments when the curriculum and the demands of a specific academic hurdle, like a looming exam, may temporarily take precedence over creativity; however, the manner in which our education is delivered always ensures that children enjoy their learning and that they contribute to the overall progress of the class and, ultimately, to themselves. To see how the Creative Curriculum benefits pupils and to meet our teachers, please join us for our next open day on 15 March; to arrange a private tour and see what Rose Hill can offer your child, admissions@rosehillschool.co.uk

adulthood, their brains are particularly sensitive in this period. From birth to the age of eight, how a child learns and progresses is critical and will affect subsequent stages of development in terms of physical and mental health, behaviour and later learning. Given the compelling body of evidence, the importance of a child having the highest quality of preparatory education is indisputable. While each school is distinctive in its approach to teaching, learning and pastoral care, there are common themes woven through the identity of Pre-Prep and Prep Schools that set some apart in terms of the quality of education on offer during these vital first years. At Sydenham High Prep School, we consistently ensure that each and every girl is prepared for the world of tomorrow. We are totally committed to preparing students

for all aspects of life beyond the school gates: academic, social and emotional.

MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS & PERSONALISED EXPERIENCES Happiness has the biggest impact on performance and development.

Building positive relationships allows our staff to get the best out of our girls as learners, and our staff pride themselves on being able to tailor the pupil experience to ensure aspirations are high, pastoral care is impeccable and expectations are exceeded.

ne of the largest dilemmas parents of pre-schoolers face is whether or not to opt for an independent education from the very start of the schooling journey. The prospective parents to whom I speak are often keen to understand what advantages are afforded by an independent preparatory education. My answer to this is simple: the foundations of learning and child development are critical in setting the tone for the educational journey ahead. Technological advancements in neurobiology and the profusion of research into childhood development have established, without a doubt, that the basic architecture and function of the brain are established during an individual’s early years.

Adventurous trips to France, the Jurassic Coast and the ski slopes of Austria also expose our girls to opportunities to become more independent and resilient. Furthermore, being part of the Girls’ Day School Trust, a family of 25 schools, also affords us access to a range of exclusive events and resources, including sports rallies, digital leader hackathons and mathematics and science conferences. As with many aspects of parenting, it is very easy to be caught up in the noise of media hype and the views of the parents around you when choosing a Prep.

ow do you improve a school that has been given an Excellent rating from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and was in The Sunday Times’ Schools Guide as one of the top schools in London? We’re continually trying to better the environment for the children. This has gone even further this year, with pupils being given a platform to take control of their learning and better the school environment. As Headmaster my mantra is: responsibility is the ability to respond appropriately and something we want for all our children. It demands perception and critical thinking, also independence of mind with informed decision making. Understanding that this isn’t something that can be taught

but it can be learned, it needs to happen in a context rather than be viewed as an academic or intellectual exercise.

Next term, the children will be looking to open their own theme parks, Getting to grips with money, maths, marketing, pitching and working together, among a host of other skills, while having a lot of fun has proved very successful and is now firmly (and popular) part of the curriculum. These various enterprises (which differ from class to class) will all come together on Enterprise Day in which the

Enterprise draws on learned skills to tackle practical tasks

children take a leading role both in the planning and the delivery and we’ll raise money for the school charity. Medical Detection Dogs will be present and the children are working with them on how to make the best of this and include our parents. The day will be a pupil-led fun fair with a range of activities which will be exciting but involve a little skill too, with all ideas being generated

and delivered by the children. This gives them confidence, teaches them to work collaboratively with different year groups and encourages them to take their learning in a different direction. Alongside Enterprise, The White House recently introduced a School Council. Two representatives from each form are chosen from Reception up to Year Six. They discuss relevant issues with their class and then take these forward to the council, exploring and prioritising the focus, looking for potential resolution of the issues, teasing out those more likely to succeed, planning for action then delivering – and in due course a reflection on whether success has been achieved, adjustments that might be appropriate and lessons learned. Unsurprisingly, common ground has been found on food! The children have a voice and it does make a difference, how empowering is that? That said, they remain unsuccessful in trying to eliminate all vegetables from the lunch menu! These two very different formats for providing children with a platform for their own thoughts and ideas go hand in hand with all the other weird and wonderful activities that make up the school life. From the very popular Science Week where the Science Museum will visit the school to inspire the children’s imaginations to building and racing an electric car at Goodwood, these experiences further develop a range of attitudes and skills, reflect on the success (or otherwise!) of their efforts and gain further confidence in their ability to make a difference individually and together. With them hardly knowing, the children are developing and delivering extremely desirable learning aptitudes which are fully transferable, not just in the short term, but in their next school and in their lives beyond that.

Visible results A new educational programme has enhanced learning at St Hugh’s in Lincolnshire, writes Headmaster CHRIS WARD

“W

e can be reflective today, because we need to get better at our gymnastics. I did a good balance today, but you asked for three pointers and a patch, and I only did two pointers. I can look back at my work and I know what I can do better next time…” These words came from a four-year-old in our Reception class a month after starting at St Hugh’s. They illustrate how our pupils’ understanding of the learning process has changed since our involvement in the Visible Learning plus programme. Initially implemented in Australia, to great success, it is now used in 16 countries, but no independent school in the UK had adopted it, until now. The programme is based upon the research of Professor John Hattie, whose seminal book entitled Visible Learning identified the 250 factors that had an impact on student learning. It was the world’s largest ever study into what works best in schools to improve learning and involved more than 300 million students from around the world. Each factor was ranked by an effect size, with 0.4 being the hinge point

at which significant improvements in pupil achievement start to be seen. We joined the programme as it became evident that traditional INSET courses did not always have a significant impact. This was backed up by research, which found that lasting changes take three to five years to implement. We were, therefore, searching for something proven to enhance pupil learning. Working with a consultant from Osiris Educational, the Visible Learning plus partner for the UK, we initially gathered evidence over a three-month period to measure ourselves against the five strands of the programme: • The Visible Learner • Know Thy Impact • Inspired & Passionate Teachers • Feedback • The Visible Learning School

The new programme shifts the focus from attainment to progress

The results were hard hitting, but armed with the knowledge of what we needed to focus on first, we embarked on a programme of internal training to achieve our aspiration. All pupils at St Hugh’s will show more than 0.4 effect size in the core learning areas and exhibit and articulate characteristics of an assessment-capable visible learner. They understand that they are learning, how they are learning and where they will go next and can interpret assessment results. To achieve this aspiration, and armed with this insight into learning, we focused initially on a few key areas: the first was ensuring that pupils knew what it meant to be a good learner. We agreed upon the following dispositions, giving each a character, so pupils related to them. • Challenging Cheetah • Creative Crocodile • Curious Cat • Independent Iguana • Persevering Parrot • Reflective Rhino • Team player Tortoise

Staff moved to a skills-based tracking system, making it easier to communicate next steps to pupils. The tracking system also shifted the focus from attainment to progress. Quality feedback was crucial, not just from teacher to pupil, but from pupil to teacher. Pupils now give feedback to teachers on their lessons. Two years into the process, the programme has completely revolutionised the school, with pupils taking greater responsibility for their own learning. A recent ISI inspection, which rated St Hugh’s excellent in all areas, also noted that “pupils’ learning attitudes to work are highly developed for their age, largely as a result of a school initiative that focuses on making more overt to pupils the characteristics of an excellent learner.”

The next step JO CAMERON Principal of Queenswood School, Hertfordshire explains Senior School and what you need to consider when making the right choice for your child

he day has arrived – you need to consider Senior school options for your child. Moving from a cosy little primary or Prep where everything is familiar to a larger school can be a seriously daunting experience for you and your child. The good news is – there are many wonderful schools out there in which your child will thrive. The less good news is that there are a vast number of factors to weigh up before making that final choice. If you’re just at the beginning of this big adventure, here are a few things that you may like to consider – although not necessarily in this order – everyone has different priorities.

MAINTAINED OR INDEPENDENT SECTOR? Depending on the quality of local state provision and your resources, you may decide to investigate the local state secondary schools or independent schools, indeed some parents look at both. Lack of resources shouldn’t necessarily put you off thinking about independent schools, as many offer bursaries.

DAY OR BOARDING?

independentschoolparent.com

If your child’s focus isn’t academic, there are schools that offer more rounded curriculums

MOVING TO SENIOR SCHOOL AT 11 OR 13? If you’re in the state sector you don’t have a choice and you’ll need to move your child from their primary school at age 11. However, some independent Prep schools operate up to Year Eight. Parents can then choose whether to move their child at the end of Year Six when they’re 11, or the end of Year Eight at age 13. This decision is totally dependent on your child’s maturity, how much they’ll gain from staying at their Prep school – ie. being at the senior end of their Prep school and all the privileges that brings, as opposed to starting at Senior school in Year Seven and being in the lowest year groups in the school family. An advantage of moving at Year Seven is that secondary schools offer specialist subject teachers from Year Seven, whereas most Prep schools continue to offer generalist teachers who teach across a broad range of subjects. If you’re considering boarding as an option, a transition at Year Nine can work very well, as many children find they’re emotionally independent enough to embrace boarding by this stage.

SINGLE SEX OR CO-ED? It’s well recognised that girls and boys learn differently. Girls tend to prefer collaborative working for example, while boys can be more comfortable in a competitive environment – this of course is a generalisation but it does for the most part hold true. I’m a passionate believer that girls do better in an environment

This may not be as straightforward a decision as you may think. Many parents find it difficult to imagine their 10 year old living away from home for all or part of the week. However, not only do some youngsters actively embrace it, these days it’s not an all-or-nothing choice. Many schools that offer day and boarding provision also offer flexi-boarding, which is a

fantastic compromise for many families. This means that for schools like mine, Queenswood, one, two or three nights boarding is offered to day girls for them to enjoy on a regular or ad hoc basis. I’m personally a huge fan of boarding, having had a wonderful time boarding as a child and I believe it can offer young people huge opportunities to grow in independence, confidence and making friends for life. Most boarding schools today are very family friendly and encourage parents to attend school performances, sports fixtures and much more. The different boarding options, from full boarding, which means they stay at school seven days a week and go home during holidays and long weekends called “exeats”, all through to weekly boarding and flexi, means that there’s usually an option to suit most families.

THESE DAYS IT’S NOT AN ALL-ORNOTHING CHOICE. MANY SCHOOLS that

offer day and boarding provision also offer flexi-boarding, WHICH IS A FANTASTIC

In a single-sex environment, girls can pursue nontraditional female subjects with ease

in which they’re not constrained by stereotypes and they can pursue the non-traditional female subjects with ease, without worrying what the boys think of them. If you have both a daughter and a son, it can of course make practical sense to send them to a co-educational school, but what you gain on practicality may be at the sacrifice of acquiring an educational environment tailored to their preferred learning style.

ACADEMIC FOCUS OR A ROUNDED EDUCATION? Exam results and university destinations are of course important, but many schools offer alternatives to a hot-house approach, where the whole person is catered for. Many schools, and in particular boarding schools, have a tradition of providing excellent co-curricular activities. In my school, we offer more than 100 activities that mean the girls discover their passions. These help them to develop into confident

independentschoolparent.com

young women with a range of softer skills which are so much in demand by employers.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS Most schools, whether state maintained or independent, operate a selection criteria. For the state sector it can be by catchment area, or if a faith school it may mean you providing evidence of having attended a particular church, mosque or synagogue. In

the independent sector, most schools operate an entrance exam. If entrance is at age 11, these exams are usually assessments in English, maths and verbal or non-verbal reasoning. There’s often an interview with the child and the school report from their current school is taken into consideration when deciding whether to offer a place. If your child moves to Senior School at age 13, they may sit the Common Entrance Exam (CEE). This is a generic exam, but many schools also like children to sit their own exams as well or instead of the CEE.

MAKING THE FINAL DECISION A final thought – once you’ve done your homework and narrowed it down to two or three excellent schools, go with your gut instinct. At the end of the day, if your child is excited about a particular school, they’re more likely to be happy there and happy children tend to be successful children.

Finding their voice

Wellbeing starts at school, where children can learn to help others as well as to help themselves, says Deputy Head of Exeter School MRS NICKY FAIRWEATHER

Our Chaplain, Revd Tom, and two pupils

t is an exciting and challenging time to be working with young people – in equal measure. The exponential growth of technology continually inspires and tests us, the future job market is more insecure than ever, universities and employers report less independence, less resilience and less creative thinking in school leavers, and the media tell us – on an almost daily basis – that we are facing an escalating mental health crisis among adolescents. The concept of “wellbeing” is not rocket science, and yet over the last 10 years it has become part of every agenda and almost every marketing campaign around us. We appreciate that happy people are more successful, and

independentschoolparent.com

yet we understand reported rates of anxiety and depression to be on the rise. In schools, we have a unique opportunity to develop pupils who are academically successful – each in their own way – but who also understand themselves, appreciate the importance of selfcare and have the tools to support themselves, and each other, in our frenetic world. A significant factor in our personal wellbeing is the need to belong and feel valued, and for me these are the key tenets of successful pastoral care in schools. We need to equip our students with real-life skills to face challenges. Alongside a wellbeing curriculum, we can provide the space for young people to find a voice, to be heard and to shape their

own culture. We must seek mechanisms that encourage participation, commitment and involvement in the community. If we can develop opportunities for our boys and girls to explore, support and promote wellbeing – through representative groups, everyday leadership projects and mentoring programmes – they will be empowered to be the change and will develop lifelong skills. The days of the School Council debating uniform, toilets and food are over; we must involve all of our pupils in curriculum consultation, development of staff inset and event planning; they must be an active part of their education, rather than having that education be something that’s imposed on them. At Exeter School, we have a framework to encourage students from Year Seven through to Sixth Form to take on a leadership role as a wellbeing ambassador – with a team of ambassadors in each year group. This gives them the opportunity to represent their peers as well as to be involved in different aspects of school life and community. To learn about life in the Sixth Form or to discuss A-Level programmes or admissions, please contact the school on 01392 258 712 or via headmaster@exeterschool.org.uk.

AIMING HIGH

Academic and sporting success go hand in hand at Ellesmere College in Shropshire, writes Headmaster Brendan Wignall

ELITE SUPPORT Ellesmere College is proud to be one of only nine schools worldwide that has been awarded the prestigious title of ‘Athlete Friendly Education Centre’ (AFEC) by the World Academy of Sport (WAoS); this accolade recognises the tailored pathways that Ellesmere provides to support elite athletes through each of their seven award-winning Sports Scholarship Academy programmes – swimming, rugby, football, shooting, tennis, cricket, and golf. Alongside these programmes, Ellesmere also has a High Performance Hockey Programme in place and a ‘Cricket For Girls’ initiative, with former England cricketer Lydia Greenway, starting in Spring 2019. The structure of the academic day and training has been designed and adapted to support the pupils both in and out of the classroom. Deputy Head Vicky Pritt-Roberts says: “We pride ourselves on valuing the

independentschoolparent.com

individual, which is something lots of schools claim to do. But to really embrace that concept, you need to be willing to adapt and be flexible, to enable the individual to pursue their goals and have a good education. Helping athletes achieve both is an example of our mission in practice.”

COMMONWEALTH GAINS Current student Freya Anderson, 17, and former student Cassie Wild, 17, are both members of the world renowned Ellesmere College Titans, who train at the college pool with Head Coach and former World and European medalist Alan Bircher. Freya Anderson succeeded in winning two bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games for England in the Women’s 4 x 100m and 4 x 200m freestyle relay races. Cassie, swimming for Scotland, achieved fi ft h place in the finals

of the Women’s 50m backstroke and 4 x 100m Medley Relay. These achievements deserve credit in their own right, and also in terms of the commitment made by the girls to training, travel and competing while studying for their A-Levels at the same time. Alan says of the Titans training programme: “Our swimmers have the most advanced training methods, video analysis, sports science, goal-setting and lifestyle management systems available to them on a daily basis. Both the Titans and the College itself aim to give the swimmers every opportunity to achieve at the highest level, both in the pool and in their academic studies.”

ACHIEVEMENT ACROSS THE BOARD Two former Ellesmere College students also attained life goals by competing in the Commonwealth Games in hockey and shooting

– which Ellesmere also offers as part of the modern pentathlon. Caro Hulme, 19, was selected to play for Wales in hockey, having come up through the College and had success at club, regional and national level alongside her sister, Lottie Hulme. Despite her playing and training schedule, Caro achieved an A* grade in BTEC Sports and an A in APLevel Business Studies and went on to study Business Marketing at Nottingham Trent University with a hockey scholarship. Shooting has also produced its fair share of success stories, including former Ellesmerian, Sian Corish, who shot for Wales in both the Women’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions and Women’s 10m Air Rifle categories. So can academic and sporting success really go hand in hand in one school? Of course they can – and Ellesmere College has the track record to prove it. Academic and sporting excellence coexist at Ellesmere

PHOTOGRAPHY: ELLESMERE COLLEGE

here’s a well-known saying we are all familiar with – “You can’t have your cake and eat it” – and in most educational establishments, when it comes to choosing between academic and sporting excellence, this is, unfortunately, true. However, the recent success at the Commonwealth Games in Australia by a team of Ellesmere College students proves that – given the right environment and support – mental and physical achievements can sit side by side in one institution.

Breadth of learning The expanded teaching curriculum at UCS Hampstead seeks to prepare pupils for a world beyond education, writes Academic Deputy Head, MARK ENGLISH

nglish secondary education has, for generations, been based on a narrow model of gradual specialisation. Traditionally, pupils undertake a broad range of subjects delivered through similar, if not identical pedagogical methods, culminating in GCSE. At some point in Year 11, pupils make decisions based on what they want to do in Higher Education and beyond, and choose three or four from their 10 subjects – not counting those offered only in the Sixth Form – for advanced study. The deficiencies of this model have been evident for decades. Curriculum 2000 sought to equip students for Higher Education through breadth and the introduction of the AS. Schools have responded in a variety of ways to the Gove reforms of recent years, some streamlining their Sixth Form provision along pre-2000 lines, others seeking to maintain breadth while struggling with the reality that most universities require only three subjects for most courses. At University College School in Hampstead, we don’t subscribe to such a reductively pragmatic view. Rather than breadth of study, we prefer to think in terms of breadth of learning. For us, the dichotomy between content and skills is

independentschoolparent.com

false; as such, we seek to prepare our pupils for the world beyond education, one in which qualities such as resourcefulness and collaboration will equip young people to deal with the demands of the modern workplace. At the heart of our academic ethos, therefore, are our Learning Values – resilience, resourcefulness, responsibility and relationships. Our teaching and learning are based on these traits; at the end of each term we award prizes to pupils who demonstrate these qualities in their attitude to study, and as part of their induction to life at UCS, our Year Seven have a Learning Values week in early September which allows them to consider how those values can be visible in lessons and homework. In observing learning, our heads of department look specifically and explicitly for ways in which pupils honour our

Learning Values, and we look at teaching from a cross-curricular point of view, considering how pupils’ learning in PE, for example, can help their learning behaviour in mathematics. These considerations are our starting point for our curriculum design. Our range of subjects at all levels is diverse and original. All our pupils in Years Seven and Eight study dance, for example, where they have multiple opportunities to develop strong learning relationships with their peers. Also, in these year groups we have two cross-curricular, non-examined courses – dialectics in Year Seven and Philosophy, Politics and Economics in Year Eight – allowing pupils to develop resourcefulness by making connections across subjects. Complementary to what happens in our classroom is our enrichment programme. From Learning Values are at the heart of UCS’s academic ethos

Year 10 upwards, UCS pupils follow courses that enable them to go beyond the content of examination specifications, all designed by UCS teachers. In Year 11 this programme culminates in a research symposium. In Years 12 and 13 those courses are designed to emulate university seminars, with discussion groups, allowing Sixth Formers to develop areas of interest, and to learn from others’ learning. We believe strongly that pupils should approach learning in a spirit of generosity, believing that their learning can benefit others, and that others’ learning can benefit their own. UCS-style learning brings its own challenges. The development of our Learning Values, of futureproof traits and habits, in a highlyselective academic environment is never easy. With the same token, recently reformed GCSE and A-Level courses have reverted to content-heavy specifications, some of which seem to allow little time for anything other than teacherled delivery of content. But we relish this challenge, and the feedback we get convinces us that we prepare our pupils impressively for life outside NW3. They leave us as subject specialists, but just as importantly, as specialists in how to learn, and how to apply their learning to new contexts, ready for the demands of the 21st century world.

“C

reative arts subjects are being cut back in many secondary schools, a BBC survey suggests.” We see headlines such as this every day in the media. Parents are increasingly looking to independent schools, such as ours, to offer their child a rich and varied curriculum catering for every kind of learner. We realise that every child is different and has unique strengths. Most children cannot simply be pigeonholed into the limited curriculums being offered at many secondary schools. Good independent schools recognise the importance of a creative education

The Ashford School art department is well equipped

THE TEACHERS are all active artists themselves AND ARE KEEN TO SHARE THEIR WORK WITH THE STUDENTS in all subject areas; they are proud to offer students an outstanding education in the arts through co-curricular opportunities and direct contact with real artists, through their teachers and ‘Artist in Residence’ programmes. The latter is an exciting and stimulating experience for students, who are able to witness and work alongside an actual artist, grappling with the real-time influences of their own singular creative process. Thus far, students have been privileged to work alongside a photographer, an installation artist and a sculptor. Tsvetelina Ivanova, a photographer originally from Bulgaria, ran specialised photography workshops, guiding the students in how to set up exhibitions of their own work in an empty shop in Ashford town centre. The installation artist Elizabeth Horridge mentored students, who produced work that was exhibited alongside hers in

Creative flow

Arts education is said to be suffering in state schools. Not so in the independent sector, writes NICOLE RAYNER, Head of Art at Ashford School in Kent Ashford St Mary’s Church. The current resident artist is Ryan Miles, whose innovative mixedmedia work blurs the boundaries between sculpture and painting. Ryan worked on a very exciting collaboration with the students that was opened to the general public last term. The art department is wellequipped with a photography studio and a dark room. New media are taught to all key stages, including stop motion animation, green screen and other film processes, including post-

production editing. It boasts four intaglio printing presses, a kiln and electric potter’s wheels. The teachers in the department are all active artists themselves, and are keen to share their work with the students. By exhibiting their own work, the staff act as role models for the pupils, who gain valuable insights into their teachers’ interests and skillsets. There are many opportunities available to the students to go on trips to see exhibitions in London, and beyond. Recent years have seen GCSE and A-Level

students encouraged to join art tours to Rome, Venice (for the Biennale), Madrid, Edinburgh and Berlin. There is also an array of opportunities for students to continue their education across all subject areas, including the arts. We currently offer 20 creativitycentred co-curricular activities. What’s most satisfying to me is that the wonderfully inspired artwork that can be seen all around the school is a testament to the fact that we have produced truly independent learners who are ready for university.

ADVERTORIAL

The school has been educating girls since 1866

A history of excellence Alexandra College in Dublin provides a bespoke education for girls from Ireland – and beyond Sport is a key part of the curriculum

ne of the earliest and most defining decisions taken in a child’s life is where they will be educated. The facilities, the curriculum on offer and the distance to travel are just a few of the key factors to consider when choosing a school. Another major dilemma is whether to opt for a single-sex or co-educational institution. With so much to mull over, it can be difficult for a parent to know what will be best for their child.

ENTERING SCHOOL We are a day and boarding school for girls located in Dublin. Since our inception in 1866, we have been providing the highest level of education to young women in Ireland and abroad. Alexandra College is comprised of the Junior School, the Senior School and the Residence for boarding students, offering education to girls aged three-18 years old. Alexandra College endeavours to give each parent greater choice, freedom and flexibility when deciding on their daughter's schooling.

independentschoolparent.com

Those who wish for their daughters to continue their education from primary to secondary in the same environment can enrol from prekindergarten classes in the Junior School right through to graduation from Sixth Year at the Senior School. Alternatively, parents who have relocated or who wish to give their daughters a different educational experience after their primary education elsewhere, can apply to enrol them at our Senior School. Our Senior School provides Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate education (equivalent to GCSEs and A-Levels, respectively) and is open to girls aged 11 years old and above. At whatever stage a student enters Alexandra College, their parents will be given web access to information on class timetables, academic reports, absenteeism, excursions, sporting events, school calendars and news, awards and other matters that allow them to be involved in their daughter’s school life. Each week they also get a personal e-newsletter that tells them about the weekly activity for their child and shares any interesting school news.

Exam results have always been very strong

ADVERTORIAL address the school on a topic that they feel passionate about. At Alexandra College, we believe that excellence should not stop with academic performance. We also encourage our students to get involved in the many sport, music, drama and art programmes on offer. Our holistic approach to education allows students to pursue interests in extracurricular subjects, where they can explore their talents while learning the importance of self-confidence, independent thinking, leadership, teamwork, respect and responsibility.

WE ALSO FOCUS ON PUBLIC SPEAKING AND HOLD “Alex Talks”, modelled on

“TED Talks”, where students address the school ON A TOPIC THAT THEY FEEL

PASSIONATE ABOUT

LIFE AS A BOARDER

Over 25 different subjects are offered

TYPE OF EDUCATION Alexandra College offers the highest level of academic education in Ireland. Our comprehensive curriculum comprises over 25 individual subjects. Students can study a range of languages, including French, German, Italian and Spanish; various modules in the disciplines of business and science; a broad humanities programme, which includes classical studies and Latin; and, of course, the core subjects of mathematics, English and Irish (with exemptions for non-Irish speakers). This freedom of choice means that students are free to pursue their interests and are in the driver’s seat in terms of shaping their own futures. Students take ten subjects in the Junior Certificate, before focusing on their choice of seven to eight in the Leaving Certificate. Guidance and mentorship are provided by our team of highly trained teachers, to help students achieve their full potential while developing their individual abilities. We also focus on public speaking and hold Alex Talks, modelled on TED Talks, where students

Our boarding facility is open to those attending Senior School and houses almost 25 per cent of our students. Located in the beautiful area of Rathmines, just 3km south of Dublin’s historic city centre, our supervised facilities offer five-day and sevenday fully catered accommodation options with participation in sport, music and drama facilitated. Residence is just a short walk from the school campus in a secure and monitored facility, with staff on site at all times. Transportation is provided to and from the college campus, even at weekends, for the wide variety of exciting activities that are planned throughout the school year. Most importantly, though, our residence is more than just accommodation; it is a community. Our boarders comprise girls drawn mainly from Ireland, and from overseas

countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. Boarders have the opportunity to form friendships that will last a lifetime and to learn about other countries from their peers. Alexandra College boarding school students are supported and encouraged to explore and develop in a safe environment that seeks to nurture independence, respect and a wellrounded personality.

PASTORAL CARE The wellbeing of a child is a parent’s top priority. Whether living at residence or attending as a day student, it is important to ensure that students feel supported. Students go through periods of great change and development during their time at school, and at Alexandra College we understand how important it is to support them during this time. Our staff are very experienced at monitoring and looking after students’ needs. We provide counselling care, faith care, and the students themselves play their part as role models and friends, providing a natural support network for each other.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT We have a long history of academic excellence, having produced some of the first women in Great Britain or Ireland to attain university degrees. Known as the Nine Graces, nine women made history when they graduated from university in 1884; a majority of them, including Isabella Mulvany and Alice Oldham, had studied at Alexandra College. We’re proud to continue this tradition of high achievement. We consistently rank in the top schools in the country. Every year, our students obtain almost 50 per cent more points than the national average in the State Exams, and more than 90 per cent of students who complete their studies with us accept offers from universities at home and abroad, including Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard.

Boarders are a key part of the school community

Queen Anne’s School Queen Anne's School is an independent boarding and day school for girls aged 11-18, set just north of the River Thames, located in Caversham, Berkshire.

We welcome day girls and those who wish to board, either full-time or weekly, and care for them all to the highest standard. We are less than half an hour by train from London, with frequent trains from Paddington to Reading. The 35-acre site offers plenty of space for sport, including lacrosse, netball and tennis, as well as art and drama. Queen Anne’s first-class teaching includes a tutorial system that encourages students not only to achieve academic success but to develop a love for and enjoyment of learning. A new music centre with specialist-designed areas for practice and performance, and an awardwinning sixth form building with a digital learning zone, learning pods, breakout rooms and a café helps facilitate collaborative and dynamic learning. A unique feature of Queen Anne’s is its innovative approach to understanding the teenage brain, reflecting BrainCanDo, the psychology and educational neuroscience research programme started by the Headmistress, Julia Harrington, five years ago. ‘You cannot teach, guide or inspire a teenager with any success unless you understand

what stimulates their exuberant brains, or stalls and depresses them,’ says Mrs Harrington. ‘Our positive and inclusive approach to learning and behaviour helps every girl to get the best from themselves. It supports and engages them while they are at school but also prepares them for a successful and happy life beyond.’ We invite you to join us for our Open Mornings on Friday 8 March and Saturday 11 May, with tours starting at 9.30am. Our next Open Evening will take place on Thursday 13 June, with tours starting at 4.30pm

School Philosophy: At Maltman’s Green we believe in the pursuit of excellence

whilst maintaining a sense of fun. Our girls’ impressive achievements across academic subjects, sport, music and drama affirm our position as one of the foremost prep schools in the country. Providing an encouraging, caring and secure atmosphere, we ensure our girls feel happy, confident and valued – a perfect foundation for academic enrichment. Quick to adapt our approach to the needs of the individual, we ensure that the unique qualities of each girl are celebrated and a sense of self is achieved. Not only do we prepare girls for the challenges of senior school but we also focus on emotional, social and physical wellbeing giving them a firm grounding for life.

Academic Record: Our girls progress to some of the best schools in the country, both grammar and independent, including Wycombe Abbey, The Royal Masonic School, Cheltenham Ladies’ College and Dr Challoner’s High gaining a high number of scholarship places. Girls take the Bucks County Transfer Test (11+), common entrance exams or scholarship examinations. Extra-curricular: Our exceptional extra-curricular provision has propelled our girls to regional and national success across sport and music. Before school, lunchtime and after school clubs across core curriculum, ICT, languages and mental reasoning challenge our girls’ academic capacities while creative and outdoor clubs nurture artistic talents and a thirst for nature. We also offer plenty of opportunities for dance and drama including ballet, modern and pom dance. Notable Achievements and Alumni: We are immensely proud of our girls’ dedication, commitment, passion and perseverance. There are many opportunities to represent the school at local, regional and national competitions and festivals. Our girls regularly achieve medal positions at IAPS, ISGA and BSGA gym and IAPS swim competitions. We also have Green Flag Eco School Status, a SafetyMARK award and are IAPS accredited.

surroundings are valuable things in a fast-moving age. When that place is as beautiful and inspiring as Canford, it enhances the quality of daily lives and encourages our pupils to set their sights high and to achieve their very best. The education is structured yet allows pupils to grow as individuals through exposure to a very wide range of opportunities. A vibrant atmosphere of intellectual curiosity aims to promote a lifelong love of learning and the school strives to ensure that pupils recognise the coherence across and connections between that learning in all contexts. It is an environment where pupils can truly flourish.

Academic Record: Canford ranks highly among the top co-educational boarding schools in the UK based on A Level statistics and is a leader regionally. Last year nearly 1 in 5 of all grades were A*. 102 pupils have gained places at Oxbridge in the past decade and over 95% of pupils move on to top universities, the majority to Russell Group/Top 12. Over 100 pupils have gained coveted places at Medical Schools in the past ten years, with scholarships to US universities on the increase. Co-curricular: Our success in external examinations and university offers

derives, we believe, from a culture of learning, intellectual stimulation and a coherent education where pupils make connections between and across learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom.

School Philosophy: Teaching throughout St Margaret’s is tailored to meet the

needs of the individual child. Children are encouraged to reflect and evaluate their own learning and with support identify their next steps. Specialist teachers offer a wide range of experiences and as a result, teaching delivers truly personalised learning for each child. Your child will join a school with real spirit and energy, which lives each day to the full. We purposefully pack excitement and learning experiences into every moment. Our staff are passionate about teaching and lessons are fun, vibrant and engaging. St Margaret’s is a place where friendships and special memories are created and where a love of learning is established.

Academic Record: St Margaret’s is extremely proud of its pupils’ academic achievements. The children are thoroughly prepared for entrance examinations to senior schools and St Margaret’s has an impressive record of success in academic and specialist subject scholarships, as well as consistently gaining entry to first-choice schools. The performing arts and sport both have very high profiles. Extra-curricular: The extensive extra-curricular programme is designed to enrich every child’s experience whilst at the school. Not only does this include the traditional school clubs such as sport, music, gardening, cookery, dance and art, but it also includes the ‘hidden curriculum’ - what the children learn from the way they are treated and how they are expected to behave. It is important that pupils are enabled to grow into positive, responsible adults who can work and co-operate with others, whilst at the same time developing their knowledge and skills in order to achieve their true potential. Notable Achievements and Alumni: Naace ICT Mark Accreditation. Eco Schools Green Flag. Sing Up Platinum Award. Wiltshire Choir of the Year 2018. Youth Sport Trust Gold Quality Mark. Unicef Rights Respecting School. Individual visits welcome throughout the year. Open Morning 14 March 2019 www.stmargaretsprep.org.uk

Magical memories, Learning for life

School Philosophy: Bromsgrove’s scope is staggering: from A level to the

International Baccalaureate, day to boarding, the arts to sport, pupils can soar. Utterly dedicated to the individual pupil, despite its size, Bromsgrove shuns public school drones and instead looks to produce creative citizens with a strong moral compass and a dash of pizzazz to boot. The Good Schools Guide says; “The pupils we met were delightful and genuine. They were articulate and thoughtful and all quite different from each other, which was refreshing. The situation of the school is an asset – it is in a good central England location, easy to reach from all corners of the country”, while the Tatler’s Good School Guide called us a “Great school with a fantastically global perspective”. Friendly, engaging and – despite its ranking - not driven by league tables, Bromsgrove is a local, national and international centre of learning.

Academic Record: Bromsgrove achieves outstanding results at both A level and IB Diploma. Over 98% of Sixth Form leavers continue to world class universities with the majority going to the Russell Group of Research universities. Extra-curricular: The Extra-curricular life of the School is hugely important with activities sessions every afternoon and on Saturday mornings. Pupils are encouraged to reach their highest possible level at sport, music, drama, debating, CCF and in numerous other areas. Notable Achievements and Alumni: Lord Digby Jones of Birmingham, A E Housman, Poet. Lucilla Wright England Hockey team Olympics and Commonwealth games. Olivia Safe Opera singer. Andy Goode England Rugby. Ben Foden England Rugby.

INTERNATIONAL The British education system is still regarded highly internationally

International schools encourage learning about other cultures

COBIS MEMBER SCHOOLS ARE SUBJECT TO RIGOROUS MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA AND are expected to demonstrate a

commitment to safeguarding and continuous PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT broad, balanced curriculum, alongside good pastoral care and a range of extracurricular opportunities. COBIS (Council of British International Schools) represents nearly 300 of the best British International Schools worldwide. Member schools are subject to rigorous membership criteria and expected to demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding and continuous professional development. Since the introduction of the COBIS Patron’s Accreditation and Compliance programme in 2017, all member schools are visited in a regular cycle and signposted to examples of best practice demonstrated across the network. The COBIS validation scheme offers much more than a badge – regular contact is scheduled between the Head and a “Lead Improvement Partner” to support school improvement and development, to ensure the best possible outcomes for students. An independent external quality mark, such

as the COBIS Patron’s Accreditation, can help schools to attract and retain quality staff, as well as giving parents the assurance that a school meets certain requirements, both in the academic and pastoral spheres. For parents looking to choose a school, external accreditation systems can be a good starting point. International schools affiliated with the Council of International Schools (CIS) also undergo a strict accreditation process and the UK Department for Education (DfE) offers a system of voluntary inspections for British Schools Overseas (BSOs), outsourced to inspectorates such as ISI and Penta, with reports published on the DfE website. Other membership associations, such as Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), British Schools in the Middle East (BSME), or the Latin American Heads Conference (LAHC), also have robust membership criteria. Overseas members of

UK associations such as HMC or IAPS, or are branches of well-known UK independent schools, will also meet high standards. There are many sources of external guidance for this difficult choice, but fundamentally a parent knows their child and must take into account the needs of the family for their future. A British International School will offer a child the opportunity to learn and develop in an international community, where diversity is nurtured and celebrated. COBIS schools focus on the development of the whole child, fostering qualities such as self-confidence, tolerance, resilience and adaptability, which are all vital for success in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world. independentschoolparent.com
