We aim to be different!
At our school, we commit to providing parents and their children with an environment where the child matters first. You can expect:
A personalised education
Every child is treated as an individual – we offer small class sizes and a nurturing “family” atmosphere, so your child is known by name, their strengths and challenges are understood, and their development is genuinely supported.
Secure, happy and confident learners
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued and comfortable. From the earliest years through to the upper primary stage, our focus is on building self-esteem, resilience and curiosity, as well as academic results.
A broad and enriching curriculum
Our core curriculum focuses on literacy, numeracy and science. Beyond this we offer a varied programme of learning—covering drama, music, art, sport, modern foreign languages, values and citizenship—so your child enjoys a well-rounded education that prepares them for life, not just exams.
Clear progression and readiness
We guide children through their formative years with purpose. Whether your priority is strong primary foundations, smooth transition to secondary school, or supportive preparation for future opportunities, we plan for each stage and keep you informed every step of the way.
Strong partnership with parents
We know you are your child’s first educator and partner. We maintain open communication—via regular updates, parent-teacher meetings, newsletters—and invite you into the life of the school. You aren’t just choosing a school, you’re joining a community where your views and involvement matter.
Value-driven education
Academic growth is paired with the development of character, ethics and social responsibility. We teach children to respect themselves, others and the world around them. We help them grow to be kind, thoughtful citizens as well as capable learners.
A safe and comfortable environment
We provide a school setting where your child can flourish—safe, well-equipped, welcoming.
British Values
At The Shrubbery School we take our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain very seriously. We ensure that the fundamental British Values of mutual respect, understanding and tolerance for those with different cultures, faiths or beliefs; democracy, rule of law and respect for self and others are introduced, discussed and lived out through our ethos which underpins the work of the school.
Our pupils embrace these concepts with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application in their own lives. The school strives to provide opportunities such as sporting events, assemblies, trips, speaker visits and diverse celebrations to strengthen their understanding of these fundamental British Values. We feel confident that we give our pupils the foundations for living a life of tolerance, understanding and the enthusiasm to celebrate diversity.
