The aim is to foster children’s ability to possess their own learning, to engage their innate curiosity and creativity, and to encourage them to connect with their feeling about themselves and the world. ATTAINMENT A curriculum that puts belief in children at its core draws from them the highest levels of attainment. Our children’s achievement is described by inspectors as “exceptional”. Though we are not selective in our kindergarten, our children are on average at the 85th centile on national tests or ability before they leave. Our exam results are outstanding, and on average our 56 leavers gain around 26 scholarships to the strongest
