Herington
House was founded in 1936 as a private day school. The current premises have been added to considerably in order to diversify the amenities and widen the scope of the school's teaching and the games provision. The School has gained a reputation for high academic standards and this reputation is zealously guarded. The staff are chosen not only for their qualifications, expertise, experience and commitment but also for their ability to motivate and lead children to reach their full potential.
The aim of
the school is to provide an environment where each pupil can
realise this potential. We believe this is best achieved in
an extended family environment in a caring community in
which each child is an important member of the school. Happy
children thrive in a calm, orderly but purposeful world
where they are treated as individuals. First and foremost we
seek to be a happy school. Properly organised learning requires a willing
response from the pupil. Within our framework the School aims to
achieve a happy and calm atmosphere so that children of whatever
temperament or level or ability are encouraged to give their best.
Herington House is a caring school with classes that are
sufficiently small to ensure that teachers can really know
their pupils and thus pin-point any difficulties at an early age. Herington House has a high local reputation for
well behaved, courteous children and with the co-operation of
parents, we intend this will always be so.. The School has an
unofficial motto "There are others" to emphasise consideration and
thoughtfulness for other people. Children continue their education up to the age
of eleven and take the appropriate examinations for secondary
schools of their parents' choice. We have an exceedingly high rate
of success both for Independent and Grammar Schools. The size of the
school is maintained at around 130 pupils. Children normally
join the school when they are three and one half years old.
Application to join the school hereafter that age, can always be
considered, subject to availability. Children have a rounded
education which can be divided under three headings - the academic
curriculum - music and the arts - sport.
