Why Choose Us

Why Choose Us

The Junior School educates children from Year 3 to Year 6, and welcomes new pupils at all year groups subject to availability.

We understand the importance of choosing the right school for your child. We pride ourselves on our individualised approach to child-centred learning. We are an academic, diverse and inclusive community where bright children are given the maximum opportunity to strive for the highest standards.

Our small class sizes give us the luxury of being able to focus on each child’s pastoral and academic goals.

Our children’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. The school offers outstanding pastoral care, where children are equipped to understand and manage their own wellbeing and emotions, with the support of our experienced and dedicated teaching staff. 

Progression into the Senior School is usually automatically, with no requirement for Junior pupils to sit an entrance assessment. Due to the continuous progress our Junior pupils make, proven by our robust monitoring and recording, we are confident in our ability to judge that our Junior pupils will be able to cope with the expectations of the Senior School.
