We achieve this through a regime of creativity, encouragement, and reward; but first, we need to make sure every child feels safe, secure, and welcome. I would say Bassett House School’s outstanding characteristic is its warm and nurturing atmosphere.

I believe a teacher’s enthusiasm is infectious, and can safely say we’re not lacking in that department at Bassett. Through an enticing mix of lessons and activities, we inspire all our pupils to be inquisitive about the world and to recognise its endless possibilities.

I would like to invite you to visit Bassett House, where you can meet me and some of the teachers but, most importantly, see the children in action: their confidence and enthusiasm is something you need to experience for yourself.

At Orchard House, children are at the centre of everything we do. Small classes, dedicated teachers and an award-winning approach to pastoral care ensure that every pupil feels safe, happy and valued. We know that children learn best when they feel safe and engaged, and our aim is always to provide an environment where they can flourish.

We are proud to be a co-educational school, welcoming boys and girls from the ages of 3 to 11. Our bespoke curriculum, The Learning Orchard, combined with our expert approach to the 11+, equips pupils to move on to leading senior schools in London and beyond. Each year, many of our children achieve scholarships in academics, sport, music, drama, art and chess. Yet what matters most is that every pupil finds the school that is right for them, where they will continue to thrive.

As we prepare our pupils for an ever-changing world, we focus not only on outstanding teaching and learning but also on our values that underpin true success: Excellence, Honesty and Kindness. We want our children to develop a love of learning, an appreciation of hard work, and a sense of responsibility for others. Alongside this, our rich programme of enrichment opportunities helps them discover new skills and passions that will support them throughout their lives.

Above all, Orchard House is a community. Pupils, parents and staff come together to create a warm and caring environment where achievement and enjoyment go hand in hand. There is plenty of laughter alongside the hard work, and a genuine spirit of support that extends well beyond the classroom.

This is an exciting moment in Orchard House’s story, and I warmly invite you to visit us to experience the energy, warmth and ambition of our school for yourself.

At Prospect House we celebrate these strengths, encouraging children to excel. Every small success leads to greater confidence and self-belief.

We have high academic expectations for all of our pupils and place great value on effort, ensuring that they have the necessary tools to succeed.

A notable percentage of our pupils gain scholarships. All go on to prestigious senior schools armed with the enthusiasm and self-confidence which is the hallmark of a Prospect House pupil.

I can honestly say our children love coming to school and I warmly invite you to come and meet me, my team, and our pupils.
