Our school has been open
since 1969 and we are very proud of the children here at the moment and those
who have passed through. Our aim is to take the best possible care of them so
that they can thrive in a secure and comfortable environment. Once they are
settled in our care we provide an education which is exciting and
inspirational. We give a wide range of trips, residentials, visitors, crafts,
performances and all types of practical learning to make sure that The Berkeley
experience is a memorable and individual one. We ensure that this education is
accessible to children with all levels of ability. At the same time we are able
to focus on the academic and formal side so that our pupils are well prepared
for the rigours of secondary school.
We provide before and
after-school care and a holiday club on our site through The Willows which is
situated on the edge of the school field. Children can attend the Willows from
two years of age and we work closely with this Pre-School Department so that
transition into school is smooth.
We always have an exciting
selection of After-School Clubs at The Berkeley so your child can choose from a
wide range which may include Judo, Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Orchestra, Choir,
Football, Art Club and many others.
We pride ourselves on our
‘open door policy’ and welcome parents into our school on many occasions.
Parents are our partners in children’s learning and our plans for the new
school year will always involve parent workshops, class assemblies, parent’s
evenings and a range of social events organised by Friends of Berkeley. We
really appreciate the involvement of parents in our school community.
If you are interested in
finding out more about our school please contact us. You are very welcome to
come and visit us, talk to me, have a walk round the classrooms and ask any
questions you may have,
