Cumnor House School for Girls and Boys is a place where your child will aspire to be the best they can be. We help every child build on their strengths, to believe in themselves, to be distinctive and to challenge themselves with high expectations. Our approach empowers children to be leaders and provides an educational standard that ensures children are well prepared for their future.
Kindergarten & Pre-School
Kindergarten & Pre-School is the beginning of children’s journey at Cumnor and the majority of our children continue onto the Boys and Girls school. As the Head of Early Years, part of the enjoyment of my role is seeing young children flourish and go on to their chosen schools or gaining scholarships. It is well researched that an excellent start in Early Years will set children up with the skills they need to succeed, and something that makes me really proud to be part of.They understand the importance for the youngest members of our community by creating a home from home environment. We follow a key group approach where we encourage children to form bonds with all the adults in the classroom. The classrooms are led by our nursery managers and deputy managers, who plan fantastic topics around the children’s interests and create the family feeling in every class. The managers ensure birthdays, achievements and milestones are celebrated as they would with a family members.
Boys School
They provide a wide-ranging education within and outside the classroom, and prepare boys thoroughly for the entrance requirements of their senior schools. The boys leave with an enthusiasm for participation, an appetite for learning and achievement and a confidence without arrogance that are all hallmarks of a good preparatory schooling, and provide the best possible foundation for the future.Regular assessment, recording and reporting help to ensure that individual progress is closely monitored. Standardised testing in Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, Numeracy, Reading and Spelling takes place annually in most year groups. Together with annual academic examinations and day-to-day assessments, these provide useful performance indicators to determine a possible future school path.
Girls School
They provide a wide-ranging education both within and outside the classroom, whilst thoroughly preparing girls for the entrance requirements of their senior schools. Our girls leave with a confidence, an enthusiasm for participation and an appetite for learning and achievement that are the hallmarks of a good preparatory school, giving them the best possible foundation for the future. Many girls exceed national benchmarks and are encouraged to deepen their learning through extension and mastery tasks.The essential philosophy that underpins the curriculum throughout the School is to provide breadth, depth and rigour within an environment that sees traditional methodology combining with recent proven educational practice. In doing so the requirements of the National Curriculum are acknowledged, but we aim to exceed them. Class sizes are kept as small as practicable, so differentiation is always possible. Average class sizes are about 15 to 18 girls.
Extra Curricular Activities
It is widely acknowledged in education that it is more than academic achievements and excellent grades that makes a well-rounded individual who will thrive throughout their educative years and onward throughout their career. At both Cumnor House schools, we expose all our children to the widest range possible of extra-curricular activities in order to nurture their sometimes hidden talents and bring out numerous positive characteristics which contribute to their overall success at Cumnor House School.Cumnor House is renowned for its sporting, music and drama opportunities and the successes it brings in terms of individual and team accolades. Both at the boys’ and girls’ schools, the impressive list of accomplishments across sporting tournaments, musical competitions, chess competitions and many more just keeps growing.
