The small school with a big personality

An independent school for pupils aged 2 to 11 years. Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

Danesfield Manor School

Danesfield Manor School is a Nursery and Preparatory School for children aged 2 to 11 years old.

It is important to us at Danesfield that all our pupils are happy.  If your child is happy and loves coming to school, it makes everyone's lives a whole lot easier.  Parents can go to work knowing their child is happy and teachers can develop, encourage and guide the learning with the pupils.  We focus on a different school value every month.  Our school values are displayed in every room around the school and pupils and staff are expected to live by them.  By the time our Year 6 pupils leave us to begin their senior school adventures, they really do understand what our 16 values mean and are able to talk about them with confidence.  

We also base our teaching and learning using a Growth Mindset approach.  We change our language slightly so that when pupils (and staff) face a challenge, we remind one another that they, 'just can't do it YET'.  This magic three letter word at the end of the sentence allows us to believe that we WILL be able to overcome the challenge but may have to put something in place first e,g, ask a friend/adult or break the challenge down so that we can achieve the small steps first.     

We like our pupils to be independent and to strive for 'excellence'.  If we can mold your child to be independent, intrinsically motivated, confident and proud at such a young age, we have equipped them with strategies, skills and attitudes that will undoubtedly stay with them for many years beyond Danesfield.
