About
the school
We are a thriving,
independent school for 190 boys and girls aged 3 to 11 years. We aim to provide
children with a happy learning environment, one where they are challenged and
supported to achieve personal excellence. Each year approximately 24 children
aged 3+ are admitted to the Lower Kindergarten (nursery) class. Other places for
older children are sometimes available and enquiries are always welcome. We are
large enough to offer first-class teaching and facilities but small enough to
ensure that every child is part of our extended family.
Our goal of nurturing
children to become rounded individuals, fulfilling their full potential is
realised through a wide curriculum. Academic success is at the heart of the
school and is complemented by plenty of sport, music, art and drama. There is a
full programme of extra-curricular activities, including opportunities for
outdoor pursuits.
Situated in Horsforth, close
to the Leeds ring-road, the school is easily accessible from most areas close to
Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate. Our site is very secure with a wooded area
offering delightful views over the Aire valley.
The school is an educational
charity where ultimate responsibility rests with a School Council (governors).
The day-to-day running of the school is delegated to the Headmaster, supported
by a senior management team.
