Featured School conducted by the Independent Schools Inspectorate( ISI), it was noted that TES is‘ highly successful in providing a British education that equips its pupils for a seamless transition to the next stage of their education.’

With bullying in schools becoming a key area of focus for most educational institutions, TES employs a zero tolerance stance on bullying.
“ The school’ s core values promote a healthy atmosphere within school. Students are constantly encouraged, in all that they do, to make good choices and respect others,” noted Headmaster Kieron.
“ Inevitably children sometimes get things wrong, and when they do, our excellent pastoral leaders work closely with them to discuss where things went awry and how the school’ s values may have been compromised. By reinforcing our core values in our daily lives and routines the children’ s general awareness, and social and emotional intelligence are effectively nurtured.”
Like all excellent prep schools, TES values highly breadth, in curriculum and offers a wide range of extracurricular activities dovetailing with academic excellence in the classroom. The

school has had regular sporting successes in Under 11 and Under 13 BSME Games in recent years and has excellent music, drama, art, DT, as well as ICT facilities that allow students to foster skills and interests, and produce outstanding results in each individual area. In February 2017, the school will also once again be hosting the BSME Music Festival.
The use of technology is fully integrated throughout the school. Years 3 – 8 pupils use iPads effectively to support their learning, and they are adept at managing documents and assignments in their own folders in Google Drive. The school’ s VLE( Virtual Learning Environment) is growing in content and is becoming
an increasingly important conduit and teaching and learning platform.
The wide and varied extracurricular activities programme( ECAs) provide wonderful opportunities for students to enjoy a whole range of opportunities. They are encouraged to take risks, and responsibility in leadership roles throughout the school.
Headmaster Kieron commented,“ The pupils’ emotional and social intelligence are both extremely important. We aim to develop robust and resilient individuals, well positioned to cope with the demands and pressures of 21st century education. This is pivotal to our success and, shapes teaching and learning.”
