Teaching & academics

Littlegarth earned an 'excellent' judgement from the ISI, the inspectorate's top rating, signalling strong quality of education across its primary years. Notably, almost 22 per cent of pupils receive SEN support, a sizeable proportion that points to a school used to identifying and accommodating a range of learning needs. For a setting that runs only to age eleven, the focus rests firmly on building solid foundations ahead of secondary entry.
