What the school says...
At Hereward House we aim to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which every child can thrive and feel comfortable. Whilst embracing the highest academic aspirations for our boys, we believe that a school should not be an exam factory. We strive to create a stimulating, purposeful and happy community, where every child feels valued and secure.
