Description
Goodwyn School is Independent Primary school in Barnet for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
They have endeavoured to portray ourselves by painting with words and pictures, but realise this can only suggest to you the unique characteristics that make Goodwyn the school it is.There is a certain something about the school that exudes warmth, happiness and wellbeing, which in turn generates confidence. Second generation families return to the school and, on setting foot back inside, instantly remember happy memories of yesteryear. The fact that Goodwyn has endeared itself to so many staff, pupils and parents indicates that we maintained its ethos. Many have contributed towards the school and now others continue to uphold the Goodwyn name. Yes, one must make changes, but we endeavour to maintain the uniqueness that is Goodwyn.

EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE
Children are introduced gently and sympathetically into a secure and nurturing learning environment. The curriculum provides indoor and outdoor learning opportunities to encourage the children’s creativity whilst offering a wide range of activities to enhance their personal, physical, social and emotional development through the seven areas of learning.
KEY STAGE ONE
In Key Stage One our aim is to ensure that the children experience a smooth and happy transition from the Early Years environment and the Year 1 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that children have had in Reception. The children will gradually be eased into a more formal learning as the year goes on so that they remain motivated, enthused and eager learners. We want them to enjoy the new challenges and approaches to learning that Key Stage One has to offer and we want to help our children feel positive, resilient and confident in a caring environment to enable them to become independent thinkers and to achieve their full potential. We also encourage teamwork with the respect and consideration of the views of others.
KEY STAGE 2
At Goodwyn, they have created a safe and welcoming environment where our older children come to school happy, excited and encouraged to do their best. Key Stage Two consists of four classes, one per year group. Our size means that each pupil receives individual attention, with the curriculum tailored to their needs and each child’s development closely monitored.
