Earlscliffe

A modern independent school, in a traditional environment, here at Earlscliffe we offer our students, who come from a wide range of international backgrounds, a rigorous academic platform and an environment that encourages the development of a creative imagination both within and outside of the classroom.

To enable academic and creative imagination together with well-being, we build a team around each student. It comprises excellent teachers, boarding staff, pastoral staff, a Nurse and the senior leadership team who can call upon specialists if required. The aim is to care for each child as though they were our own and enable them to realise their full potential and beyond.

This family environment provides guidance and support but encourages personal development and growing independence as our older teenagers learn to accept increasing responsibility for their own work, future plans and interpersonal relationships, whilst still abiding by the rules.

Our ethos is that a truly successful education includes so much that goes beyond the curriculum. Sports, activities and community opportunities are also important and enrich the academic experience. Character qualities such as initiative, persistence, curiosity and leadership are as important as academic literacies in developing the whole person.

As a parent and teacher, I passionately believe that it is our young people who can give us all optimism for a brighter future for the world; our role as educators is to support and develop them as they begin the path to doing so.
