At Cameron Vale we are driven by the belief that ‘no one size fits all’, and we strive to know every child as an individual, enabling us to support them to develop their own unique gifts and talents, allowing every child to shine, whether it be excelling in the classroom, the sports field or the stage.www.cameronvaleschool.com
Dolphin School Dolphin School provides a wonderfully bespoke experience - for children and parents. From the moment you make contact with the school and step over the threshold you’ll encounter unexpected warmth and a personal touch which is rare in a London Prep School. With average class sizes of 16, we have developed our individualised curriculum - a personal wellbeing system which has evolved to cater for a modern British education. Children leave Dolphin to a secondary school which is right for them, not moulded to fit a particular environment. Strong academics, second-to-none pastoral care, extensive cocurricular activities and a personalised education programme for all. A green house, not a hot house. www.dolphinschool.org.uk
