What This School Does Well
Maria Montessori School creates an exceptional learning environment where children thrive through collaboration and genuine care for one another. The school excels at developing pupil independence and responsibility - from young children safely ironing napkins to older pupils running their own bakery business and planning educational visits. Teaching is highly individualised with strong support for all learners, including those with additional needs.
Key Strengths
- Children and pupils demonstrate outstanding behaviour, respect and collaboration with each other and adults
- Early years provision is outstanding with precise identification of learning and high levels of pupil engagement
- Reading is prioritised with clear, progressive teaching that helps pupils become confident, fluent readers
- Pupils develop impressive independence, responsibility and life skills through real-world activities like managing the school bakery and organic garden
- Strong focus on preparing pupils for life beyond school through leadership roles, community volunteering and career guidance
Areas for Improvement
- In primary and secondary phases, the most important knowledge and skills in some subjects have not been clearly identified, meaning the curriculum is not as effective as it could be in helping pupils remember what they need for future learning
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with proper systems in place to keep pupils safe.
Extracurricular Activities
School bakery service, organic vegetable growing and cooking, litter picks on Hampstead Heath, singing with nursing home residents, community volunteering, educational visits and residential trips
