Teaching Approach

We use a unique hybrid of Montessori principles and resources blended with the National Curriculum.

Wrap Around Care

School Day: 9.00am-3.30pm

Breakfast Club: From 8am with breakfast (£4.50)

                             From 8.30am early drop off only(£1.50)

Afterschool Clubs: Monday-Friday until 5pm (£5.00)

Choose between Dance,Board Games, Outdoor Pursuits (or Craft in the darker evenings),  Sport, or Film clubs. Clubs run throughout the year without interruption. We understand the need for reliability for our working parents so even if a club leader is absent we will still run a club.

​

​

Extra-Curricular

One of the perks of being a small school is the flexibility to enhance our children's learning experience  by adapting our planning at very short notice.  For example, a visit to the Anstey alpacas, Buntingford library, Shuttleworth museum, the Cambridge computing museum and botanical gardens ... to name but a few.  We have 3 staff who are qualified to drive the minibus so the possibilities are endless! We are visited by peripatetic teachers for LAMDA drama coaching, piano, violin and ukulele.
