Fantastic 11+ results make it 5 years over 90%!
Hats off to Year 6, who have achieved an incredible 11+ pass rate of over 90% for the 5th year running! Independent school scholarships are still coming in, but also look to top last year.
The consistency of our pupils’ success is the result of a carefully developed academic programme that tailors learning to each child, instilling confidence and competence in the core curriculum from the earliest years. We also offer an accelerated academic programme for those children who join us higher up the school. All balanced with a rich and fulfilling school experience, with sport, music and art, plus a co-curriculum that opens doors and new experiences.
Last year, we talked to our Year 6 leavers to find out what they would be taking away from their time at St Faith’s. What they told us is that their academic achievements were just the icing on the cake of a happy, fulfilled prep school experience, full of opportunity, support, fun and friendship. Watch the video below to see them reflect back on their time with us.
What is the St Faith’s difference?
The consistency of our 11+ results over the past four years demonstrates the huge difference a strong educational foundation makes to a child’s development. We are non-selective and yet, year after year, our carefully tailored curriculum, our experienced subject expert staff, and our real enthusiasm and love of education leads to fantastic outcomes for our pupils. A huge amount of hard work goes into ensuring that every child leaves St Faith’s a confident young learner, head held high, wherever their destination.
Getting the basics right
We achieve great things in the classroom by building a strong academic foundation of phonics and maths in Early Years, and by continuing to encourage and support both throughout the school. Confident reading skills are key to comprehension and give children ownership of this very important element of their learning.
Tailoring the education to the individual
Next is our determination to provide a bespoke education for every child at St Faith’s, with an emphasis on improving areas of weakness and developing strengths in Focus Groups, and nurturing academic successes. With maximum class sizes of 18, teachers are able to hone the individual skills of the children and ensure that no one escapes attention. Our unique Digital Strategy from Year 4 to Year 6 helps to speed up the learning process and enhances knowledge and study skills.
Support and encouragement from the best teachers
Our greatest school resource is our extremely loyal and experienced team of teachers, who care for the children, and know how to prepare them for the academic challenges ahead. Knowing their pupils individually means that staff are able to ensure that the full potential of every child is realised. Subject experts inject enthusiasm into their lessons, passing on a love of learning.
Making it fun!
Children respond well to encouragement and stimulation, but not to pressure. Keeping a broad and healthy approach, and balancing out the core curriculum with lots of fun and exciting opportunities, is critical to the positive outlook of our pupils. A good balance of music and sport helps the children grow in confidence, our beautiful wildlife garden is a source of curiosity and connection with the wider world, while the hotly contested games of table tennis and numerous ways our children are supported to make friends, value kindness and support each other, combine to create an environment where children are happy.
