Where little children do remarkable things

I wanted a place where they would feel safe, deeply known and happy, and where learning was the best part of the day. That still shapes everything we do. My son Nathan was one of our very first pupils alongside his sister, and today he runs the school with me.

We’ve been referred to in print as ‘Notting Hill’s best-kept secret.’ However, it is a secret we are very happy to share with you.

We hope these pages give you a true feel for life at Strawberry Fields, and we would love to welcome your family to come and see it for yourself.

Literacy and mathematics

Individual attention. Strong beginnings.

Every day brings quiet, focused time with a teacher, building early literacy and mathematics at your child’s own pace. Through stories, phonics, conversation and practical number work, children develop the pleasure of reading, the confidence to express their ideas, and the curiosity to work out how things fit together.

The arts

Music, art and imagination

Creativity is part of every week, never an extra. Children sing with Mrs Turner, paint on large canvases, sculpt with clay, cook in our proper school kitchen, and put on plays in the hall. Visiting poets, musicians, puppeteers and authors come in to share what they do, and the children’s paintings and ceramics line our entrance hall from the moment you step inside.

Within the school day

So much to try

From French, drama and hands-on science to swimming, tennis, dance, gardening and Forest School, specialist teachers bring fresh possibilities into every child’s week, all within normal school hours and included in our fees. Along the way, children practise the everyday habits that matter most: listening, sharing, waiting their turn and being kind to one another.
