Headmistress’s Welcome

Our experience at Lyndhurst has been outstanding. The school has a great ethos and is truly a nurturing environment to help your child thrive.
Our son was apprehensive about joining a new setting. Little Lyndhurst took a real interest in helping him settle. They provided several settling in sessions in the summer term and following their advice we sent him to the summer camp with the Little Lyndhurst teachers. When he joined in September he was already comfortable with the environment and the staff.
During his First half term he has grown in confidence and is really enjoying his time at the school. I am so pleased we found the right environment for him and a huge thanks to everyone who has supported him in making such a smooth transition into the school!

The staff’s dedication is unparalleled. At every parents’ evening, I am genuinely moved by the depth of their character assessments; they truly know and celebrate our daughters as individuals. The dynamic learning structure ensures that no two days are alike, leaving the girls energized and brimming with new knowledge. Even the ‘parent guilt’ of long days (8 am-6 pm) has vanished-in fact, on the days I pick them up early, they are genuinely disappointed to miss ‘Afternoon Tea’ with their friends. Little Lyndhurst is more than a school; it is a community where our children are thriving!

I consider putting my children into Lyndhurst as one of the best decisions I have ever made. The school is not elitist, genuinely takes children of all levels of ability, and then make it so no one sees the difference. All children are celebrated, all children achieve to their highest ability. The teachers there are the kind of people who genuinely love their jobs – everyone at the school is passionately committed to your children, led by an outstanding head master who is extremely involved with each child and values building emotional intelligence as highly as academic achievements. The range of subjects, activities and experience is unrivalled. All the children partake in sports, shows, play a musical instrument, the wrap around care is educational as well as fun. Neither of my children, have ever, in the last four years at Lyndhurst said they didn’t want to go to school today, I know that the start Lyndhurst has given them will set them up for life and as a parent I am eternally grateful.

Our three-year-old has settled in wonderfully and loves the school. The teachers and assistants are well organised, friendly, and create an excellent learning environment. The schedules are varied with plenty of opportunities for outdoor playing and learning. My wife and I also love the proximity to the prep school and the interactions the nursery can have with bigger kids especially during after school. The 8am to 6pm care is very convenient for two working parents.

A fantastic school! My son is now into his second year at Lyndhurst (reception) and it is one of the best decisions that we have made for him (and us). The school’s before and after care is second-to-none, and along with the wonderful teachers and staff means that my son very much enjoys his school day. His academic progress has been rapid, and he has access to a very wide variety of sports and extra-curricular activities. It has been an excellent choice of school.
