Since moving to Horkesley Park, Littlegarth School has undergone extensive redevelopment giving the children more opportunity to experience a wider range of activities. Our pupils have excellent access to participating in sports at a high level as well as taking advantage of our outdoor classroom in the Forest School. Our most recent new classroom development has enabled facilities provide the best environment for children to establish a good grounding across the curriculum, and especially in English, Maths and Science.
We are extremely proud of Littlegarth’s heritage. It gives us the experience to look to the future and to continue being a leading Independent School in the area. We will always want our children to be given the best educational experience possible and to do this we will continue to reinvest in the service we provide.
We provide opportunities for children to be challenged and experience success which develops their confidence across all areas of the curriculum. Children at Littlegarth are encouraged to have a positive and ambitious attitude to life and learning at all times.
