The Best in Everyone

It is a real pleasure to welcome you to our website.  Arnold is a vibrant and caring family school for children from 2 to 18 years old and the following pages, links and images will give you glimpses of our life.  I hope that what you learn here will inspire you and your family to visit our Kindergarten, Junior School or Senior School, including our Sixth Form.

At Arnold, we develop our pupils' academic talents by combining the best elements of traditional teaching with modern educational thinking.  Our pupils are inspired by excellent teaching and our staffroom comprises a strong team of dedicated and highly qualified professionals, several of whom are pursuing Masters Degrees or other further qualifications in education.

Academic achievement is extremely important to us, but equally so is independent thought, strength of character and teamwork.  We promote these core values through sport, drama and music, as well a huge range of other extra-curricular activities.  This array of opportunities, combined with our outstanding pastoral care, is what makes Arnold such an exciting and unique school.

Arnold pupils leave school as articulate and compassionate young people of integrity.  They are equipped to contribute to, and lead, our society and are prepared to face the challenges of life beyond school.  We frequently tell visitors that our pupils are our best ambassadors and, if you watch the following videos or visit Arnold School TV, you will understand why we do.  To enjoy the videos, click on the links below:

This website should give you a sense of our happy, disciplined and stimulating environment where our boys and girls thrive.  Do come and see us for yourselves however; sample life in our busy community where you will gain a real feel for the school's quality and atmosphere.  More importantly, come and meet our pupils, one or two of whom will show you around this great school. 

Best wishes

Jim Keefe, Headmaster
