About Our School

Founded in 1878, we are a small, family-run, independent school located centrally in the heart of Leicester. We provide a warm, nurturing environment, where every child feels at home from the moment they arrive.

We exist for families who want their child to be truly known- academically, socially and emotionally- and who value confidence, belonging and wellbeing as much as academic success.

Our size is our strength: no child is overlooked or lost in the crowd, and every child is supported to develop important skills, build confidence, and progress academically, in preparation for a fast-changing world.

In contrast to larger schools, we specialise in:

  • A deep personalisation of learning, where teachers tailor work to the individual’s needs.

  • Strong, long-term relationships between staff, pupils, parents and guardians.

  • A commitment to personal academic excellence, with a broad and rich curriculum.

  • A nurturing, warm environment where every child is known and valued.

We are proud of our rich history and facilities. Our school has four levels which include a hall and a newly refurbished playground.

Our addition of Bertie's Nursery has allowed us to create a consistently supportive environment from children's earliest milestones, by welcoming children from 2 years old.
