We see brilliance in every child

Prep children thrive on challenges. Just watch our young engineers building reliable structures, designing lighting arrays and repurposing materials to cradle eggs in flight!

Our inspiring teachers magnify the children’s natural curiosity and discover their particular passions, as that is where brilliance is most likely to be found. Our topic-based learning might take their classes to the heart of Antarctica, the eye of a hurricane, the oar of a Viking longship or the edge of Monet’s water lily pond. Public administration, racial justice and climate and conservation challenges are all introduced for our citizens-in-waiting.

Independent thinking and creativity are encouraged and celebrated. Specialist music, dance, sport and language staff help pave the way for successes to come all the way through to Sixth Form and beyond.

Class sizes are small and the atmosphere is polite, relaxed and purposeful. So far so traditional, but the highly-qualified staff bring in the very best of modern methods and tailor learning for now –a time of rapidly advancing technology. Many children are facing the prospect of a future job that hasn’t been created yet – a conundrum we aim to navigate.
