Outer circle
We prepare young people to blaze a trail in whatever field they choose. They leave us equipped with a breadth of skills, ready to become responsible global citizens.
The first years of education are a voyage of discovery – exploring, questioning, having a go and getting a thrill from every achievement.
Our Learning Wheel
Knowledge versus skills? The debate goes on and on – but we believe that it isn't a choice between one or the other.
Our Learning Wheel places the pupil at its core, is holistic and integrates the key areas of knowledge and understanding with thinking skills and learning characteristics.
Learning Segment
We group our subjects together into six curriculum areas. We teach subjects in an integrated way, because the future belongs to those who can think way beyond narrow subject boundaries.
Learning to think
Education is not just about imparting knowledge. It’s about teaching young people how to think for themselves: critically, creatively and collaboratively.
Developing Character
Fostering a secure bedrock of self-esteem and a sure moral compass is essential preparation for a future in a complex world.
Our Learners
Our schools are small enough to ensure that each learner is known. By placing our learners at the centre of our approach, we create an education that allows individuality to flourish.
Our approach
We work closely with parents, sharing each child’s experiences to build a complete picture of his or her skills and to see how, together, we can help them progress.
- Thematic learning
We break down rigid boundaries between subjects, because learning isn’t all about set lessons.
- Thinking skills
Here, it's all about learning to learn, as we lay the foundations for a life-long love of learning.
- Learning through play
In the Early Years, play opens up endless learning opportunities.
- Digital learning
We embrace new technology, focusing on how it can convey concepts and enhance learning.
