An inclusive school for children aged one to thirteen (Infant through Year 9), built around a single conviction: that every child — however they learn — belongs at the centre of the classroom, not at the edge of it.
Ages taught, Infant through Year 9
NAMC Montessori, then the Oxford International Curriculum
So that every child is known by name
An equitable and nurturing environment where unique capabilities are celebrated, so that every child flourishes and reaches their potential.
A lifelong commitment to ethical leadership and accountability, so that children live out an excellent spirit in their daily actions and choices.
Every child learns best when they feel safe, seen and excited. Our classrooms blend structured learning with joyful play.
From one to three years, our children follow the NAMC Montessori programme — the age at which a child learns best by handling the world. From three years, they move to the Oxford International Curriculum, an enquiry-led programme that asks children to think rather than to recite.
Most of our teachers hold a BEd in Early Childhood, Basic Education or Special Education, so every classroom is equipped to notice when a child needs stretching, and when they need help.

We would rather begin differently. Our special educators and physiotherapist are members of staff, not visitors, and support happens inside the school day — not around it.
No child is refused a place because they have a special educational need or a disability.

The best way to understand this school is to walk through it. Tour the classrooms in use, meet the teachers and the Head of School, and ask us anything.
