A Word from the Head

A very warm welcome to St Aubyns. I would like to invite you to come and visit our school, to meet children and staff from the Pre-Prep and Prep Departments, see our 11 acres of grounds, look at our considerable range of facilities and begin to understand our very special, distinctive ethos.

St Aubyns has been preparing children for British senior schools for over 100 years. Our aim is to make the children feel happy, secure and valued, and to foster each individual child in developing their individual strengths. Our extended school day allows us to offer a wide range of creative, sporting and academic extras in addition to a broad academic curriculum. The creative arts are flourishing at St Aubyns and all the children are encouraged to develop their potential in this area.

Central to our educational success is a very low pupil to adult ratio, and a committed and well-qualified team of teachers who are passionate about teaching and nurturing children. Each child is given an Individual Learning Profile when they join the school and from this an appropriate programme is developed. Through pastoral care in small tutor groups throughout the school and an emphasis on developing good social skills we aspire to create confident and well-mannered children. Each pupil receives individual guidance and as a consequence our children are confident and polite, and achieve outstanding results in a range of fields at 13+.

Our recent Inspection Report (ISI 2007) highlights a ‘stimulating and tolerant atmosphere’, ‘outstanding’ pastoral care, and our focus on personalised learning as ‘an area of outstanding practice’. ‘Achievement in drama, art and sport ... is outstanding for a school of its size’, the report states. The behaviour of the children and the excellent relationship between pupils and staff are also singled out for praise.

I hope very much that you will be intrigued by what you read here and then arrange to pay us a visit.

Simon Hitchings, Headmaster
