A warm and happy new school that combines the best of prep school tradition with genuinely innovative thinking. The partnership with Alleyn’s is a huge boost; the school says there’s strong demand for places and parents reckon the future looks bright. Children love coming to school and as a teacher told us: ‘We are small enough to care but big enough to give them opportunities. Everybody feels they belong.’
