EDUCATION
NORTHBOURNE PARK SCHOOL
WITH THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ACADEMIC YEAR, WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME
OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT GO ON AT NORTHBOURNE PARK SCHOOL.
ACADEMIC
We place great emphasis on developing every
child's academic ability and showing them
how to reach their potential. No wonder that
every year our Year 8 pupils move on to the
senior school of their choice, often with some
amazing results. These are the most formative
years of a child's education and we ensure
that the lessons are engaging and fun.
NURSERY
We are proud of the start that the children
have at Northbourne Park and thrilled to have
received this year a Top 20 Award from
Daynurseries.co.uk for the south-east of
England. The Nursery children have access
116
to all the facilities that the other children use,
as well as French lessons and weekly Forest
School sessions.
CREATIVE
The school puts on many public performances
throughout the year. In the Pre-Prep the
children enjoy performing in the Harvest
Festival, Nativity plays, Mother’s Day service
and summer music concert. The older pupils
in the Prep School are busy with music
concerts, Christingle, a junior and a senior
play, Historical Costume Day and a wonderful
carol service. Many of the children take music
and LAMDA lessons, frequently passing the
exams with distinctions.
SPORT
The school provides a wide programme of
sporting activities that include hockey, football,
netball, rugby, cricket, rounders, fencing,
swimming, even yoga. And if you love the
great outdoors, our outdoor education
programme sees the children building camps,
cooking on open fires, kayaking in the
Ardeche Valley and many more thrilling
activities.
We hold Open Mornings every term and are
always delighted to welcome visitors at any
time through the year. Come and see what
Northbourne Park School can offer you.
