THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE
Why Devonshire House?
Nursery School (age 2-4)
Every child has a unique character. And we embrace them all. We can’t replace you as a parent but we promise your child will grow, learn and play in a safe environment, ready for the next big step.
Lower School (age
4-7)
Our qualified teachers make learning fun, intriguing using our spacious grounds and on-site Forest school area. Children get messy and learn how to love and care for our environment.
Middle School (age
7-10)
Pupils learn in a senior school campus. Remember the smell of the Bunsen burners? Your child will adore the science experiments in the lab, the robots in the technology room and the music rehearsals for the school band. All, at the age of 7.
Upper
School (age 10-13)
The Upper School will cater for your child’s most ambitious pathway. We are a big school, yes, but our teachers know each of our pupils and go the extra mile to get them through the doors of their preferred senior school.
