The Best in Everyone
I am delighted to welcome you to the Arnold School website. Arnold is a vibrant and caring family school with children from 2 to 18 years old, and I hope that what you learn here will prompt 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.
Whilst academic achievement is extremely important to us, equally so is independent thought, strength of character and teamwork. We promote these core values through sport, drama and music, as well a host of other extra-curricular activities. This array of opportunities, combined with first rate pastoral care, is what makes Arnold such an exciting and unique place to be.
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 to the school that our pupils are our best ambassadors, and if you watch the videos below you will see why. To enjoy the videos, click on the links below:
The website should give you a sense of our happy, disciplined and stimulating environment where our boys and girls thrive but do come and see us for yourselves; 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, Acting Head
