Us Our Schools Beyond the Classroom Contact 3 - 11 YEARS Orchard House School Welcome to Orchard House. I feel very privileged to be the new Headmaster of this wonderful school. Orchard House is one of west London’s leading prep schools with an excellent reputation, not just for outstanding academic results, but for nurturing the individual talents of each and every child. Every parent wants to be sure their child is safe and happy at school. At Orchard House, we have small classes, dedicated teachers and an award-winning approach to pastoral care that means your child really does come first, always. READ THE LETTER KIT THOMPSON, HEADMASTER VISIT THE ORCHARD HOUSE SCHOOL WEBSITE About Orchard House School Orchard House School was founded in 1993 with 65 pupils. Today, there are approximately 300 pupils and 47 teaching staff, allowing each child a great deal of individual attention. It is very rare there are more than 20 pupils in any class, and in the early years there are three teaching adults in attendance. Small group and 1:1 sessions are commonplace. Teachers take lunch with the children and the extensive extra-curricular activities allow teachers and pupils to interact in a more informal atmosphere. Children blossom when they feel secure, happy and valued. Each child has a Pupil Pastoral Plan where they can note any private worries so that teachers may monitor their happiness and well-being. Our buddy system helps newcomers through their early days, and we encourage older children to mentor younger pupils, instilling a sense of responsibility. The school’s House system encourages teamwork and a competitive spirit, allowing children to celebrate their own success as well as the achievements of others. A WIDE SPECTRUM OF ACTIVITIES ENCOURAGE SELF-EXPRESSION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TALENTS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM.
