At Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College, we believe that every child is unique and deserves the best education possible. Our vision revolves around the child at the centre of learning, as we strive to instil 21st century skills that will equip learners to be independent lifelong learners.

Starting from the Early Years, we focus on nurturing creativity and providing a supportive environment for children to learn and grow. As our young one’s progress to the Junior Years and Middle School, we continue to cater for tailor-made learning paths, seeking to develop a growth mindset that enhances resilience and empowers our learners to be confident problem solvers.

Our learning programmes are varied and rich; they focus on the core areas of learning, complemented and strengthened by the expressive and creative arts, digital literacy, physical development, and cultural competence. Individualised learning paths are further supported by specialist initiatives such as the Higher Achievers programme, accredited by the National Association for More Able Children in Education, focus groups, and the Alternative Learning Programme.

Throughout their journey in the Junior Years and Middle School, we encourage pupil-initiated learning by adopting a project-based approach together with other innovative pedagogies like maths mastery, which embraces critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication. We ensure that pupil voice is given central importance and we enable it throughout our daily routines, as well as our Student Councils.

We are also proud to have a solid learning beyond the classroom programme, which is designed to allow learners to develop a broader understanding of the world around them and to learn skills that will help them succeed in our ever-changing world. As part of the programme, learners are immersed in nature through Nature Matter Days. They are also encouraged to learn in real-life contexts through a wide spectrum of cultural and educational trips. We strive to build strong vertical and horizontal connections with national and international organisations through these trips and beyond. During the Junior Years these are mainly local visits, but throughout their years in Middle School, our learners are also given the opportunity to join international trips. These memorable experiences also develop confidence and independent skills.

We have a robust social and emotional learning programme and a wellbeing team that values the importance of supporting the developing child as each one blossoms individually. We believe that happy and healthy students are better learners, and we seek to create a supportive environment where our pupils can thrive.

At Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College, we firmly believe that families are crucial contributors to ensuring that each child embarks on and enjoys an optimal learning journey. Our families are regularly invited to attend various activities during which learners showcase their work, perform, and celebrate their achievements. Through our family focus groups, we ensure that our community spirit is continually strengthened.

We look forward to welcoming you to our community and to helping your child achieve their goals.
