Foundation (ESF) and is one of the two Private Independent Schools (PIS) within
ESF. The school is an all-through school, providing an unbeatable setting for children
to learn across the whole of their educational journey. The school follows the
International Baccalaureate (IB) from Year 1 to Year 13, providing a consistent and
coherent approach to children’s learning at every step.The student-centred, inquiry-
based learning model at the heart of the programmes aligns perfectly with the
school’s beliefs about the importance of guiding each and every student to be the
best that they can be. The school’s guiding principles are to grow, discover and
dream.
