KNOWING THE INDIVIDUAL

We pride ourselves on really getting to know each individual child on their journey through Nursery & Pre-Prep, tailoring our approach to make our already warm environment optimal for every learner. Whether your child joins us the day they turn 2-years-old, at age 3, or 4+, they will thrive in our culture of care, where teachers create meaningful relationships to support the growth of confidence and resilience, and utilise high staff to pupil ratios to help every child achieve their full potential.

FOSTERING EXCELLENCE

Our wide and enriching learning experience sees children explore the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) and Key Stage 1 core curricula and so much more. Subject specialist teaching sparks wonder in everything from drama and storytelling, music, gym and dance, to French, Italian and Forest School, providing a broad platform for academic and creative excellence and plenty of opportunity for children to develop their own passions and interests ahead of Prep School.

Our Hampstead Nursery was transformed into a magical winter wonderland today as @shootingstarentertainments delivered their delightful production of Search for Santa🎅

When Santa magically disappears, a group of adventurous friends set off on a journey of nursery rhymes and dancing to discover his whereabouts. Along the way, they encountered whimsical characters, solved festive challenges, and discovered the true meaning of the holiday spirit - bringing joy, kindness, and togetherness to the forefront.

And, of course, Santa was found safe and sound, ready to return to the North Pole just in time! Our little learners couldn’t help but smile and dance at the infectious festive cheer 🎄✨

A postcard from Lille! 🥐

This week, sixteen of our Year 7 Canonbury Senior pupils embarked on a cultural and festive adventure to Lille, in northern France, immersing themselves in the magic of the early Christmas season🎄

The group explored the Christmas market, Le Village de Noël, sampling classic French delicacies such as macarons and crêpes and enjoying breathtaking views of the city from the Ferris wheel. Their journey also included a walk through Lille’s historic old town, renowned for its beautiful fusion of French and Flemish-inspired architecture.

This trip has allowed our students to build on their linguistic abilities by experiencing real-world conversations and deepening their cultural understanding.
