Academic Life

Our academic life is set up to promote learning

Throughout academic life at Griffin House, your child will be encouraged to achieve their potential in a supportive and friendly atmosphere with a close, constructive relationship with their class teachers.

Specialist teachers work with pupils in French, science, music, drama, ICT, art and sports to ensure a high quality of learning throughout a range of subject areas. Emphasis remains on literacy and numeracy so that your child will be best equipped to meet their academic challenges.

We aim to promote the joy of learning and reduce the fear of failure, which is often a significant barrier to active learning. Our small class sizes mean that teachers are able to create a truly individualised learning environment that is tailored to your child’s individual needs.
