"Light Work Life"

The school was founded over seventy years ago by the grandfather of the present owners. Consequently there is a history and presence which enables us to maintain a family atmosphere and family values.

The main building, in pleasant, secluded grounds, houses the junior school, library and dining and kitchen accommodation. In separate outside classrooms, bounded by lawns and playgrounds, is a small Pre-School unit for 2½ - 3 year olds, together with the Infant classes to which the Pre-School children transfer in the September following their fourth birthday.

Throughout the school the children are arranged into classes by age span, keeping within their correct school year. The same full-time member of staff remains with the year group for the whole academic year to ensure mutual stability, teaching the basic core subjects. In the Junior School specialisations in teaching emerge, and staff teach their specialist subjects throughout the department, as well as caring for their own form.

Therefore although the Pre-School, Infant and Junior departments are separate, they meet and play together as often as it is relevant to do so, thus developing interdependence and, among older boys and girls, a sense of responsibility and caring.
