In our school, we aim to create an atmosphere of respect, trust, and happiness, where each child feels secure, cared for, and has a sense of belonging. We also endeavor to have each child working to their full potential. Children will be introduced to a wide variety of learning experiences. We hope that each child’s journey through primary school will be a happy time for all the family, both in terms of educational development and the friendships which are made not only with other children but staff and parents as well. We are committed to the achievement of higher education standards. This means providing a challenging, stimulating, and secure environment where the emphasis is on high expectations and quality learning outcomes. We believe that children need to be actively involved in their learning and see the purpose and value of it. They need to have the opportunities to work independently and collaboratively and see themselves as successful learners. It is therefore vital that the children are given the desire, belief, and confidence to achieve. The school actively seeks the involvement of and support from parents and organizations within the local and wider community so that the children have access to a broad range of learning experiences.

Lyndhurst House is a preparatory and pre-preparatory School for boys aged four to thirteen. The School has an excellent record of achievement at the Common Entrance and Scholarship level, particularly with the major independent London public Schools. The School especially prizes enthusiasm and commitment and fosters self-respect, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility. The School provides a full and rounded education with pupils transferring to senior School at thirteen-plus. The School is responsive to individual needs and develops the strength and personality of each boy, whilst encouraging a sense of responsibility, the growth of self-respect, and an understanding of community values. Lyndhurst House promotes the core values of decency, tolerance, understanding, and sympathy. In all areas of School life, the School provides opportunities for pupils to find fulfillment, enjoyment, and the chance to excel. Lyndhurst is a warm, safe environment in which boys develop their talents and initiative, and where they receive an excellent early education. The School prides itself on its results, on the breadth of its education, and the individual attention that is given to each boy by the dedicated and experienced staff. New boys quickly feel at home, and there is a natural progression at thirteen to senior schools. The early years are taught by the Class Teachers for most lessons. The emphasis is on a full and broad curriculum as appropriate at each age and on the many different aspects of Literacy and Numeracy, with additional topic work in History, Geography, and Science. Each week these classes also have French, P.E., Art, and Music with, from age seven, the Games afternoons. As the boys move up the School, classes are increasingly taught by the subject specialists. The School's dedicated team of staff includes Classroom Teachers and Assistants for the younger boys and the Specialist Subject Teachers. In this way, the pupils' academic and pastoral needs are carefully met. Provision is also made within the staff for some individual help, should this, at times, be required. View full school
