But what sort of life do we want for our children, and what skills will they need in order to be successful? At Buckswood we recognise that every scholar is an individual, born with a unique set of talents and abilities. The net of opportunity is cast so wide that as talent is discovered it is nurtured and cultivated, so that every scholar’s potential is fully realised. We want each child to be able to stand up on his or her own two feet and be able to tackle any situation and they must learn that life is not a computer game.

Buckswood does not recognise the concept of the average pupil; there is no box-ticking template to be followed here, because every scholar will be treated differently, with an education tailored to his or her own aptitude. Buckswood’s small class sizes, expert subject specialists and the uniquely inspiring environment, come together to produce an educational experience unlike any other. Our GCSE, A-Level & IB results continue to be excellent year on year.
