Carleton House is a small Catholic Preparatory School, open to children of all denominations. It is a registered Charity and is non profit making.
The school recognises that the needs of each child are unique. The class sizes are small and high educational standards are maintained by a well qualified and experienced staff. High standards of behaviour and manners are expected and maintained.
Carleton House provides a sound academic and social education in a friendly and caring atmosphere.
There are seven classes, three in the Infant Department and four at Junior level. Pupils receive a thorough grounding in all areas of the curriculum and there are many opportunities for them to take part in extra curricular activities, including various sports, ballet, speech and drama, art and craft, computer studies, chess clubs and individual instrumental music lessons.
Entrance to the school is by interview at reception level.
Higher up the school the prospective pupil is invited to spend a day at the school when an assessment of ability is made.
The children are prepared for various entrance examinations at 11+ and a very high percentage of children do progress to selective independent secondary schools - 90% plus of children obtaining their first choice school. The Headteacher and Governing Body have implemented the National Curriculum into the school's existing educational policy.
