• Our location: it truly is breath taking. There is something special about working in a Grade II listed building full of historic memories that we get to be a part of each day.
• Our curriculum: we design our own. One of the many great aspects of being an independent school is designing our own curriculum for the children in our school. We describe it as traditional with a modern twist - it is at the heart of our school.
