Description
Falcons Prep - Richmond is Independent Secondary school in Not applicable for kids aged 4 to 13 (Gender - 4 to 13 )
At Falcons, they have a clear focus on academic achievement, but they believe an education is about more than outcomes alone. The responsibility is to understand children as individuals to help them reach their potential, ensuring they emerge as intelligent, resilient boys who are capable of reflection and well-prepared for whatever opportunities lie ahead. They are passionate and knowledgeable about what it takes for boys to thrive. The nurturing environment gives each pupil the time and input they need to become confident, independent learners. Added to this, they provide modern facilities and specialist staff for sport, music and the arts to ensure they grow at an academic, physical and social level. The teaching methods and structures are anchored in the curriculum but brought alive in new ways that capitalise on children’s natural enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity. We infuse learning with a spirit of adventure, emboldening children with the freedom to explore new ideas and the courage to follow their initiative.
