Ahead of their upcoming Open Morning on Saturday 7th October, find out more about how Hilden Grange instills a ‘joy of learning’.
At Hilden Grange we pride ourselves on instilling a ‘joy of learning.’ The positive atmosphere at the school and the happiness of our pupils are evident as soon as you step through onto the site. Small classes and the close relationships enjoyed between staff and children provide a supportive setting where pupils flourish.
“Hilden Grange is enormously friendly, nurturing and stimulating. Our daughter settled immediately in this welcoming environment.” Current Parent
♥ Specialist teaching
Subject specialist teaching is at the heart of everything we do: from drama lessons in the Nursery and computing in Year 1 to science investigations in the Prep School, our subject specialist teachers are passionate about instilling a joy of learning. From Year 3 every lesson is taught by a subject specialist and our pupils greatly enjoy the variety that this provides. Setting in Mathematics and English from Year 3 also ensures that pupils are taught at the pace that best suits their abilities.
Pupils gain impressive examinations results, both in the Kent Test and in Common Entrance, and with 61 scholarships gained to leading independent schools in the past three years alone, this speaks volumes about the quality of the teaching. We are equally proud of the wealth of extracurricular opportunities we offer our pupils, ensuring that all children have an opportunity to shine.
“I always look forward to going to school. There is never a dull moment at Hilden Grange. ” Eliza, Year 6 pupil
♥ Outdoor Learning
Our Early Years teachers all share a passion for outdoor learning which forms a vital part of the curriculum. The outdoor learning area was completely redesigned recently to provide a stunning site with huge scope for play, discovery and exploration. Children love experimenting with the interactive water wall, brewing potions in the outdoor kitchen, sharing stories in the Hobbit House and challenging themselves on the large play equipment.
“We had high hopes when our daughter joined the school and these have definitely been fulfilled. Above all the school provides a happy, caring and supportive environment.” Current Parent
