The Pupils

The pupils are interested, engaged, enthusiastic and fun to teach. All classes are mixed ability and our non-competitive academic ethos means that every girl achieves to the best of her ability in these classes.  There is no setting or streaming, work is marked by comment and there are no formal examinations until Year 5 in preparation for the 11+ examinations.

The Teaching

Assistants are assigned to each teacher and are an invaluable resource to the teaching staff. The timetabling is weighted towards your teaching strengths whilst allowing you to develop in other areas of the curriculum and giving you non- contact time to reflect on your teaching.

Parents also support their children in their learning at home, building on all that is done in school. Classrooms are comfort cooled, light and extremely well resourced with the latest information technology and teaching equipment.
