Overview
The Junior Department is proud of its ethos of excellence within a family atmosphere, and seeks to develop bright, happy and confident girls. We provide a purposeful, stimulating and secure environment for the girls, who mostly join us at seven, from a wide range of independent and maintained schools. The vast majority proceed to the Senior Department at eleven without having to take the entrance exam. Standards are high, and girls generally work in advance of their chronological age and standard year group.
|
The Curriculum
The Junior Department curriculum is based on the National Curriculum, including the Primary National Strategy. It is challenging, and designed to give a balanced educational experience covering academic and creative subjects, and many sporting activities.
|
Pastoral Care
We work hard to establish and maintain a caring, supportive atmosphere in which girls feel confident to be themselves, to respect and care for everyone in the community, to be proud of their achievements and to persevere with things they initially find difficult.

Key Stage 2 Results
Junior Girls take Key Stage 2 SATs towards the end of Year 6. In 2011, 100% of the girls achieved Level 5 in Maths and 94% Level 5 in English.
Science is no longer examined as part of SATs.

The Creative Arts
The Arts flourish at Burlington House; they play an important part in the girls' development and enrich the life of the school. We offer class music and individual lessons in a particularly wide range of instruments, one of the many advantages of our links with the Senior Department. Drama is taught within lessons and as an extra-curricular activity, and Art and Design Technology are greatly enjoyed.
