They believe that creative play in nature is an important part of learning, helping children to explore and understand the world, making play a crucial part in a child’s development. Having access to vast green landscapes here at St Lawrence College and exciting forest terrain, nature is an integral part of our pupil’s everyday schooling.The creative curriculum stretches across all areas of learning, with a strong focus on core language, literacy and mathematical skills, combined with the most exciting elements of Forest School where children learn through discovery and exploration. The curriculum is further enhanced by specialist teaching in subjects including Music, Swimming, PE and French.
Pre Prep
Children are happiest when their school work excites them, when they are recognised for their achievements and supported if needed, when they feel safe, and when they have time to play. At St Lawrence College we take great care to support each child, nurturing them to reach their potential in all aspects of school life as they move through Pre-Prep and into Prep and beyond.With spacious grounds, wonderful resources and a dedicated staff team they leave no stone unturned to find out what motivates your child, offering them an innovative range of lessons and experiences.
Prep
They are ambitious for every child and are proud of the academic record. They recognise that education, in its truest sense, is measured not just in results but by preparing young people for a successful future. The learning programme is based on the National Curriculum but always aims to go beyond those confines and to make the process accessible, relevant, meaningful, stimulating and enjoyable for all pupils. Learning across the curriculum is underpinned by an emphasis on creative problem-solving which teaches children how to learn and develops a real sense of intellectual enquiry.
Senior School
St Lawrence College has a rich history and a reputation for excellence. The genuine feeling of community is tangible and there is no doubt that the Christian values, boarding ethos, all-through nature of the school and focus on the individual contribute to a feeling of care and compassion that permeates every corner of the campus. The aim is to ensure that every individual achieves their potential and this is most clearly illustrated in the excellent Value Added academic results. A combination of dedicated teachers, a broad and challenging curriculum, strong work ethic and focus on core educational skills combine to provide a stimulating, inspiring and purposeful learning experience for the pupils
