We are delighted to share The Good Schools Guide recent review of Micklefield School.
They were impressed by our exceptional support in preparing pupils for transition to senior schools. Our parents and children agreed!
"Parents say support in choice and preparation for transition is ‘exceptional’ and that they are ‘reassured’ by the school’s commitment to finding the ‘right fit’ for each child. Pupils told us they feel 'confident’ in approaching entrance exams".
They recognised our robust academic program delivered by dedicated specialist staff in small class sizes.
‘Teaching is fantastic,’ say parents, ‘our children are really supported as individuals.’
They note that music and drama are standout features of the school and that a strong culture of performing arts runs throughout.
Our comprehensive sports programme is also commended for its focus on building team mentality and emphasis on the children being good ambassadors for the school.
Our 'superb' pastoral care is also highlighted, with initiatives like peer mediators, a worry box, and wellbeing champions getting special mentions.
Pupils are described as 'curious, confident, and well-behaved', contributing to a warm and supportive school environment.
They praise the close-knit Micklefield family in which new children quickly feel they belong.
"New starters are made to ‘feel part of the community immediately’, with well-organised welcome events and ‘the warmest’ transition".
