Simon added: “We don’t have a specifi c school that


we feed into, so children move on from here to a variety of schools including grammar schools such as T e Royal Latin, T e Royal Grammar School and both Aylesbury High and Aylesbury Grammar as well senior independent schools, such as Bedford School, Bedford Modern and Bedford Girls and also further afi eld to Harrow, Rugby and Sedbergh. T ose schools want pupils who have more than just academic ability. T at’s why it is vital to start devel- oping personal skills from the beginning, for their future education, right up to applying for university places or attending job interviews. “Pupils in Year 6, their last year with us, have General


Studies sessions with me each week. Often, that takes the form of a debate, and we cover everything from AI to vegetarianism. Everyone gets to share their opinion and that builds confi dence. T e Year 6 children also take on leadership roles throughout the school, from Head Boy and Head Girl, to House Captains, Sports Leaders and Maths Ambassadors, right through to helping younger children in the morning with reading or spending time helping in the Nursery. “One of the important things is to allow children to


make mistakes and learn from them, in a safe environ- ment. Not every child that comes through our doors arrives thinking they are good at something, but during their time here, they will fi nd that they are good at many things. “Our philosophy of Ready To Lead The Way is a


very important one. Whatever stage they are at in their education, happy children and children with character, will do well.”
