Initially the school’s development will see the launch of a co-educational Montessori Day Nursery and Infants Department in the autumn of 2013. The year-round day nursery will care for children aged from six months to five years. Children will then be able to go on to the infants department in the independent school or can transfer to other local schools.
The school will then expand year-on-year to cater for about 300 children up to the age of 18.
It will be an independent fee-paying school, however it will accept early education funding for two, three- and four-year-olds.
The focus will be on a well-rounded education combined with outdoor learning and a strong focus on sports. The children will have access to the 2,000 acre estate and surrounding woodlands and it will work towards achieving forest school status.
