The Curriculum

We boast a bespoke future-focused curriculum, taught by specialists for the best outcomes, where much-loved traditions meet innovation. In our Early Years, our timetable offers a hybrid of structured lessons crossed with Montessori play-based principles.

Games & The Art

Our specialist PE and sports teachers encourage pupils to try a host of activities and game. Music, drama and art are also taught by specialist teachers and allow for pupils to express themselves with confidence across a spectrum of media.

Pastoral Care

Bassett House has a homely feel -where parents say their child is more nurtured, known and seen. We consider it a privilege to educate children in our academic school with small class sizes and expert staff committed to making learning memorable. Happy children learn. When pupils join Bassett in our Nursery, they receive their very own Pastoral Plan from our Pastoral Lead. Communication Station supports pupils who need a boost.

Head Teacher’s Philosophy

No matter where you go to school, you need somebody to catch you and to notice you. Every child at Bassett sees the Head in their classroom at least once every single day, with Hot Chocolate Friday’s a highlight. We take children’s talents and inquisitiveness and nurture them.
