Curriculum
Specialised teaching tailored to individual needs sparks boundless creativity, nurturing young minds to explore and shape their unique ideas. Beyond fostering academic excellence, the school’s new curriculum, The Learning Orchard, includes time in the innovation hub for hands-on learning as well as a philosophy and oracy programme, encouraging confident communication.
Sport & The Arts
Pupils are energetic and passionate in sport, competing in events like the Knight Frank Schools Triatholon, the Mini London Marathon and the ESSA relay championships. Recent successes include a second-place finish in the 2025 IAPS U11 national netball championships. The school nurtures a wide range of talents by facilitating over 300 private music lessons weekly across instruments, including piano, violin, drums and wind instruments. The sports, music and performing arts programmes allow every child to develop their unique talents.
Pastoral Care
Individual learning plans give pupils a space to share concerns, helping teachers monitor wellbeing. A buddy system helps new pupils settle in, while older pupils mentor younger ones, fostering a caring community.
