Pupils are taught in small classes, allowing for individual attention in a sheltered environment, which gives children the confidence to develop to their full potential.
The school is not academically selective and will accept pupils whom it considers would benefit from a traditional education where discipline, hard work, consideration for others and good manners are an important part of the school ethos.
The Performing Arts - Dance, Drama and Music, are an integral part of the curriculum in the Prep School and feature strongly in the extra curricula activities in the Senior School , contributing greatly to the individual`s confidence and self esteem.
