From a place of encouragement comes extraordinary growth. Here at The Croft, children aged 2–11 flourish academically, socially and personally, enjoying boundless opportunities for exploration and adventure across our stunning 30-acre estate, all supported by expert teaching and a nurturing community.

Friendship & Trust

We emphasise being trustworthy and honest to foster strong relationships.

We cultivate a space where children can be their true selves. Here, friendships thrive, trust grows and individuality is celebrated - giving every child the confidence to explore, take risks and turn curiosity into real academic success.

"Every day, my child comes home excited to share stories about friends who cheer them on and teachers who truly listen. In this environment of trust and celebration, they feel safe to take risks, ask questions and explore boldly - finding joy in learning like never before." Year 5 Parent

Respect

We are kind and respectful to everyone and look after our school environment.

"What I love most about the school is how the value of Respect shines through everything the children do. Whether it’s harvesting apples to donate to the local foodbank, choosing charities for their Young Enterprise stalls on Sam’s Day, or caring for nature on Biodiversity Day at Alscot Estate and through the Eco Club, the children are learning to be kind, thoughtful and responsible citizens. It’s wonderful to see them take such pride in helping others and caring for their school and community." Year 6 Parent

Creativity

Promotes curiosity and imagination for problem-solving. 

“When my child came home talking about baking bread to understand where the Great Fire of London began, and building Tudor houses to see how easily they caught fire, I realised they hadn’t just learned history - they’d experienced it. And it’s not just in creative arts; creativity is part of everything they do. That’s what learning looks like here: hands-on, imaginative and alive every single day.” Year 2 Parent

Growth Mindset

Teaches that abilities can be developed through hard work and learning from mistakes. 

"When my child first came here, they hid behind my legs, unsure and hesitant. But this school showed them that every mistake is a lesson and every challenge is a chance to grow. Today, they stand on stage, confident and proud, singing their heart out. I am grateful for a place that helped them believe in themselves." Year 6 Parent

Excellence

Aims to achieve high standards through stimulating teaching and effort.

"We couldn’t be happier with The Croft. The inspiring teaching makes our daughter excited to come to school every day. She feels supported, challenged and encouraged to think for herself, and we’ve seen her grow academically, socially and emotionally. We know she’s being prepared for a future full of possibilities." Year 5 Parent

Resilience

Encourages children to develop their full potential by building strength in mind, body and imagination. 

Resilience is at the heart of The Croft. Whether it’s performing in the Pre-school Nativity, building shelters in Forest School, constructing rafts on the Year 6 PGL trip or preparing for important exams like the Thornton Scholarship or 11+, our pupils learn to persevere, discover their strengths and never give up.

"It’s the everyday moments that count. From learning French alongside English to mastering cross-country breathing and performing on stage, my child has grown in confidence and resilience. Whenever he faces a challenge, he dusts himself off and tries again, supported every step of the way by the school’s positive approach." Year 5 Parent
