Head Teacher’s Philosophy

 We focus on enabling each child to fulfil their intellectual potential, while encouraging them to find enjoyment, and to seek success from their participation, at whatever level in the many artistic, cultural and sporting opportunities available. We believe that children should grow up with an understanding of the importance of personal responsibility, respect and teamwork.

The school is set in 40 acres of stunning Surrey countryside, less than 50 minutes from London with first class sports and music facilities and an exceptional art department. Unique pastoral care in a wonderfully relaxed, inspirational environment leads to outstanding academic results.
