At South Hills School, we believe that each child is unique and should be treated as an individual, regardless of gender, race, ability, culture, religion and special needs.  As we express in our poem 'Children Learn What They Live' if a child lives with encouragement they learn confidence.

We aim to ensure that the education that we provide is suited to the individual needs of each child.

From day one, we aim to help build the child’s positive self-image enabling them to be aware of the contribution they make to the life of the school.

The contentment of every child is our main priority and to achieve this, good parental relations are essential. That’s why co-operation between the school and you, as a parent, will be a priority throughout the time that your child is with us.

We are caring for the most important and vulnerable person in your life, and while you have the right to expect certain standards from us, we also have certain expectations of you.

To this end a South Hills Home School Association has been established to enable parents and carers to become involved in both the social and educational life of the school.

Most importantly, a child should be guided and encouraged but be allowed to learn and develop at his or her own speed.  We draw on on the philosophy of Maria Montessori's approach to education.   The provision for children's development and learning is also guided by The Early Years Foundation Stage (DCFS 2007) which came into law in September 2008.

The school is a Christian foundation embracing all denominations and will hold regular assemblies and celebrations. In the course of the curriculum, in order to build awareness and appreciation of other faiths and cultures, children will be introduced to their major celebrations in an appropriate way.

The only way to get to understand the unique nature and happy atmosphere of the school, and its setting, is to come and see it for yourself. Be our guest!
