Childhood at Dean Close St John's. It is more than an education, it's a profound feeling of freedom - a chance to climb trees, get muddy knees and light fires, to take risks and to be challenged, to laugh and build lifelong friendships. Independence to explore their learning, both inside and outside the classroom, is an essential ingredient of every child’s educational journey. When combined with nurturing creativity, children are shaped into curious, resilient and outstanding learners, whose focus is not merely on a destination but on the skills acquired and honed along the way.
