From the Northolmes Junior School, Horsham
We are adamant that every child matters and deserves an excellent educational experience that inspires and develops them to reach their full potential. We take great pride in our welcoming, familial junior school. We work hard to make sure your kid is a content, self-assured, and successful student, and we think this begins with a solid, transparent collaboration between the home and the school. We are very lucky to have a huge, outdoor learning environment and a very experienced staff, and our curriculum is created to provide the kids every opportunity to learn through first-hand experience. We take great effort to treat and value each child as an individual, and we think that having excellent manners and being considerate of other people are key skills that assist to prepare the kids for active community participation. The success of a child's education, in our opinion, depends greatly on parental involvement and the development of a good home school relationship. Prospective parents are strongly encouraged to tour the school. Please call or send an email to the school office staff if you would like further details or to schedule a visit.
