It is the aim of the school to train mind and character so that the pupils may, in addition to achieving their academic potential, also be fitted to take their places as useful and worthy members of the outside world.
To this end parents may be assured of the fullest co-operation of the members of staff.
Firm but friendly discipline is maintained. This results in a happy atmosphere which provides ideal conditions for both teaching and learning making it easy for all to live up to the School motto of 'To Strive is to Accomplish'.
Grittleton House School is a co-educational day school for pupils of three to sixteen years of age. Entry to the Junior School is normally by interview, when examples of former work may be requested. For pupils entering the Senior School at 11 plus an Entrance Examination is held in February of each year from the results of which Scholarships and Bursaries may be awarded. Pupils may be accepted at any other time during the academic year and for such children individual assessments will be arranged.
A House system operates, the Houses being named after William TYNDALE, Sir John HUNT and Sir Alexander FLEMING. Healthy House competition both in academic work and on the sports field is encouraged.
The most senior pupils are expected to play an active part in the day-to-day running of the School. This they do in the role of Prefects who are given certain responsibilities and privileges.
Parents interested in the school should contact the secretary who would immediately send the current prospectus.
