The Pointer School continues to maintain the very good traditions set by the Pointer Sisters. The School still exists in the same buildings first occupied by Madelaine and Muriel Pointer in 1950. We are in essence a thriving and innovative pre-preparatory and preparatory for boys and girls from 3-11 years of age. An excellent pupil/teacher ratio of 1 to 12 allows us to provide a very secure and comfortable environment. Perhaps our special feature is small class size. Our average class is 16 in number and never exceeds 20. The Headmaster and his family (of six) actually live on the premises. They thus take a very genuine interest in the school and have created an atmosphere that is remarkably warm and caring. Security is taken very seriously and all exit doors are locked at 9.05. Entry after this time is by intercom. A strong extra-curricular program exists with clubs ranging from Chess and Cooking to Art & Craft and Horse Riding. An Early Morning and Late School facility is also in place. Parents will be very pleased to know that we use only organic meat and dairy products in our school meals and are very fortunate in having an excellent school cook. The Nursery has also recently (Spring 97) undergone an OFSTED inspection and was given the highest grade attainable. Copies of the inspection report are available to prospective parents. The School is basically Christian in ethos and expects high standards of behaviour. Success in examinations to secondary school is very much in evidence though it is always our intention to develop each child in whatever direction his/her abilities lie.
