Why Choose Ivy House School?
Ivy House School
At Ivy House School our pupils have access to a curriculum which features a similar breadth and balance of both core and non-core subjects. Ensuring this important equilibrium helps to better equip pupils with a broad variety of skills to be lifelong learners and a well-rounded, happy and confident children. Exploring a pupil’s natural gifts, in addition to covering the core subjects such as English, mathematics and science, encourages individual learning, motivating each child to continue with that learning throughout their life – a key skill.
We promote a calm and purposeful environment, where children are simultaneously supported and challenged to endeavour in all areas of learning and social development. We find that this helps our pupils to strive for their goals with confidence and to exceed their own expectations.
