Independent education for your child
While education is every child’s right, the means of delivery is a choice for their parents. Making that choice, at the primary level, affects the foundation for academic, social and personal learning that has an impact far into the future. As such, parents become well researched on the standard offer available – schools, national curricula, DfE targets and expectations. However, the myths around the accessibility of independent education limits some parents from considering an environment where their children would gain a far more personalised learning experience.
There are three essential areas for any education environment: ensuring children are safe and flourishing, a curriculum that lays a foundation for academic success and personal development of each individual for our global society. At Vita et Pax Preparatory School, we pay full attention to each of these elements so we can provide breadth and depth to nurture confident, capable individuals.
We create opportunities that allow the excellence of each student to be demonstrated. This is built into our broad, flexible curriculum where fluency in the art of public speaking holds a place just as significant as in Mathematics. Through the use of teachers specialised in English & Mathematics we emphasise the mastery of subject with deepened understanding. Learning moves beyond just our books into Sport, Art, Music and performance, thus feeding the creativity of our students. We maintain a measured approach to ensuring students gain significant social understanding of the reality encompassed within globally topical issues.
Vita et Pax Preparatory School takes its role as a charity seriously and maintains not-for-profit status from its Christian roots. This is reflected in the affordable fees of just under £900 monthly for a full independent education. Childcare and workplace vouchers form part of the options available to maintain affordability. We see independent education as an investment, not a luxury.
Why should this investment be made at all? Beyond the small class sizes, high academic standards and broad curriculum, there is a lot more value to education at Vita et Pax.
We wrap our provision around families, not just children, so we all benefit from the rich community. We see parents as the main partners, whom we work closely with to ensure their child’s capabilities are realised. Practise towards entrance examinations are explicitly conducted as a part of the Junior curriculum with regular feedback and discussion with parents around progress. Wrap around care, at breakfast or after school, ensure a balance of tuition, play and nutrition that supports our working parents.
Our students enter their next phase of learning confident in their abilities, skills and academic achievement. They are able to stay true to themselves in any large environment.
We welcome you to see our school in action as our students, staff and families bear testament to the importance of an investment in the foundation of your child’s education.
