Why choose an independent education
- The aim of an independent school is to offer a well rounded education
- Independent schools offer a wealth of facilities and high teaching standards that enable students to achieve great results year after year
- The independent sector has the advantage of not being forced to conform to every politically imposed initiative and independent schools are therefore in the unique position to provide a truly bespoke education for your child
- This in turn gives you the parent, the opportunity to choose a school that is right for your child
- Children at an independent school are presented with a broader curriculum allowing them to expand their capacity for a wider level of critical thinking
- British qualifications are highly respected around the world and by choosing to place your child into an independent education could significantly improve their future opportunities
- Upon completion of their studies, a child will have benefited from one of the best educational experiences in the world
- According to surveys compiled by the Independent schools council (ISC), some of the reasons parents choose to place their children into independent schooling are:
- Relatively small class sizes and therefore the opportunity for more individual attention
- High standards of education leading to excellent examination results
- Encouragement of a responsible attitude
- Development of social responsibility
- Effective pastoral care
- Wide range of extra-curricular activities
- Most independent schools offer fees assistance and scholarships
- This education will develop inquiring, imaginative, interested, knowledgeable and above all, caring young people who are then well equipped to create a better, brighter, more peaceful and worthwhile world through inter-cultural understanding and respect.
