Buxlow School

For over seventy years Buxlow Preparatory School has been renowned for the high quality of education that it offers to boys and girls aged 4 - 11 years. Pupils and teachers work together within a small caring community to develop academic potential to the full.

A strong system of pastoral care is in place and with so many families having children of different ages in the school, many of our visitors have commented on the school's friendly family atmosphere.

At Buxlow we believe that by encouraging each child to develop their talents, they will flourish and gain the knowledge, confidence and skills that will stand them in good stead for their future years.

 

Welcome from the Head Teacher

Hello, my name is Ann Baines and I am in my 4th year as Headmistress of Buxlow Preparatory School. I have spent the last 30 years in education, having worked in both the public and private sector, as well as teaching overseas for the Ministry of Defence.

I am extremely proud of the way in which the school has grown and developed during my time here. I am fortunate to be able to work with dedicated teachers and support staff who not only have the ability to develop each child’s academic potential, but also provide a strong system of pastoral care. This means that you can leave your child with us each day in the knowledge that they will be safe and cared for. I look forward to meeting you when you come to see the school in action.

I am delighted to share with you the report from the recent ISI Inspection, which took place from 9th - 12th June 2008.

The inspectors found that “the high quality education provided by the school successfully meets its aims and philosophy” and pupils are well educated and “achieve good and frequently outstanding standards in relation to their age and ability”.

They also found that “the spiritual, moral social and cultural development of the pupils is outstanding and there is a sense of community and respect for others” and “ that staff provide a supportive atmosphere in which pastoral care is outstanding and every pupil feels respected and valued”.

The report concludes that the school has made outstanding progress since the last inspection and all regulatory requirements have been met.

I am very proud of the staff and pupils at Buxlow and I am delighted with this report as it provides written confirmation of the school’s achievements.
