Why Micklefield?

People visiting Micklefield for the first time often comment on the warm, inviting atmosphere they sense when walking around the school and the lovely interactions they witness between the children and staff. 

We believe there are some six key reasons why our children and families are so happy at Micklefield School:

1. Micklefield family: We are a family school and nursery and our children’s safety, happiness and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do.  Our whole school community is built on a strong partnership approach between our staff, children and parents.
2. Outstanding results: For a small, non-selective independent school we achieve outstanding academic results. We are part of the Reigate Grammar School (RGS) family and children can transfer to RGS senior school without the need to sit an entrance exam (instead, their progress is closely tracked). We also have a fantastic 11+ programme for children wishing to transfer to other senior schools.
3. We make learning fun! Our staff are passionate, knowledgeable and inspiring but most importantly they make learning exciting and fun! We provide a challenging curriculum that sparks critical thinking and problem-solving with plenty of opportunities to take learning outdoors.
4. Small Class Sizes: Our class sizes are small, with an average class size of 20 children. This reinforces a strong sense of community and enables strong relationships and child-centred learning.
5. Looking to the future: We believe it is vitally important to innovate and invest in IT to keep pace with technological advancements. All our children have access to iPads from Reception upwards. We ensure there is a balanced approach to IT which is integrated throughout the curriculum to prepare our children for the future.
6. An inclusive and inspiring atmosphere: Our combination of passionate teachers, engaged children and a supportive community creates an environment where the children feel encouraged to take risks, think creatively, and pursue their dreams. Our aim is for every child to leave Micklefield, happy, confident and future ready.
