Founded in 1927, as an independent preparatory school for boys, our School is now fully co-educational and offers quality education to children between 2 and 11 years of age. The bungalow is located on the corner of East Lane and Castleton Gardens, Wembley, where it is served by excellent road and rail links that run throughout Wembley. It is often said that, next to a happy home, quality education is the best gift parents can give their child. However, the process of finding the right school for your daughter or son cannot be entered into lightly. Co-educational learning at Buxlow is tried, true and successful. Co-education is a natural, normal and healthy learning environment and, at Buxlow girls and boys work and learn together just as they will in their adult lives, they are provided with a great advantage in their preparation for their future. Our programs encourage children to learn in and through mixed-gender experiences. Our philosophy, encompassed in the statement ‘to be the very best we can be’, permeates every aspect of our school. Being a small school means that every Buxlow child is well-known, respected, and recognized as unique. Each child is nurtured, supported, and encouraged to achieve personal excellence in all they do. Buxlow children are encouraged to work hard, to set realistic targets in their academic work, and to engage in an extensive range of school activities. We are proud of our academic results and delight in the wide range of excellent schools into which our Year 6 pupils are accepted. Our children are known as being well-prepared, well-rounded, and considerate young people. Crucial to ensuring a successful Buxlow education is a pastoral care we offer. Since building emotional intelligence to support academic learning is a shared responsibility between parents and School, we work in partnership to create a strong and caring community where every child can feel welcome, safe, and supported. As a result, Buxlow children are invariably happy, polite, caring, self-disciplined, and eager to learn. It is in this environment of high expectations, support, and care that our children achieve, thrive, and are well on the way to being well-equipped for lives of responsibility and leadership as articulate, competent, considerate young men and women of integrity. The bungalow is proud to be a member of the Independent Schools Association. All schools within this association are characterized by their unique attributes and the offering of a wide array of special opportunities for pupils and families. In this regard, Buxlow is no exception. Buxlow's mission is to create a happy and inclusive school in which teachers inspire the love of learning and children to learn to value working hard to achieve personal excellence in everything they do. To best prepare children for their secondary schools and their future lives, we seek to meet their intellectual, social, and emotional needs. Independent schools recognize and embrace the value of providing their students with a multi-faceted educational experience that contributes to their personal development as well as their intellectual growth. For this reason, opportunities for participation in activities outside of the classroom are abundant, ranging from athletics to the arts to community service programs. These activities are an integral part of the independent school experience and culture and allow students the chance to explore their talents, apply lessons they have learned in the classroom, and interact in diverse settings. Independent schools focus on providing safe and secure settings that also offer a wealth of valuable resources and facilities. Our Vision Statement contains details of our aspirations, plans, aims, and objectives. Buxlow aspires to be the school of choice for families who seek a happy, inspirational, and vibrant learning environment that nurtures and challenges its pupils to achieve personal excellence and become resilient, responsible, and caring citizens of the future. Buxlow's mission is a creative, happy, and inclusive school where teachers inspire the love of learning and the children work hard to achieve personal excellence in everything they do. Our core values are, Excellence Achieves personal excellence regardless of ability. Determination Strength of mind and character. Responsibility Completes tasks and accepts duties and obligations. Kindness Friendly, generous, and considerate. Honesty Fair, truthful, and trusted. Respect Appreciates and treats self and others with dignity. We believe in providing a happy, caring, inclusive learning environment in which children begin to grow as competent, confident learners and communicators, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they are respected and accepted for themselves. We strive to ensure that our Nursery, Pre-school, and Reception environments are warm, welcoming, and happy places where our children build trust and confidence. View full school
