Littlegarth School

Welcome to Littlegarth, a happy, friendly, caring, and forward-thinking school where children between the ages of 2 and 11 begin their exciting journey of discovery.

Littlegarth is a truly amazing school where children of all ages flourish in our safe, friendly, and happy environment. We pride ourselves on knowing each and every child as an individual and helping them to find their own passions and interests through our broad and detailed curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities. Our fantastic rural setting in the beautiful countryside, along with our superb facilities give children the freedom, space, and opportunity to flourish in many areas, whether academic or other, enjoy every day to the maximum and become confident, well-balanced individuals.

Children have access to excellent facilities for sport, art, Science, design technology, cookery, ICT, Forest School, music and drama. Specialist teaching ensures they are given every opportunity to achieve the highest levels in these and many other activities.

Our staff are highly qualified and second-to-none; they genuinely go the extra mile to support and challenge your child to be the best they can be. Class and form teachers build honest and close relationships with you as parents so that you are very much part of your child’s journey through the school. Much advice is then on hand as you take the next step to secondary school too.
