Selwyn House - Where Girls Thrive<br />
Selwyn House is an all girls’ school for<br />
Years 1 to 8, with a focus on developing<br />
inquiring and empathetic minds and<br />
building strong knowledge foundations so<br />
that our students will face the future with<br />
the skills and confidence to be empowered<br />
global citizens.<br />
We prepare our students for the<br />
challenges and opportunities they will<br />
encounter using the latest technological<br />
tools within a creative and nurturing<br />
environment. With access to the best<br />
modern facilities and outstanding teachers,<br />
our students learn to think creatively, work<br />
collaboratively and to approach each new<br />
challenge with a can-do attitude. They are<br />
problem-solvers and powerful thinkers -<br />
attributes that are needed and valued in the<br />
future workforce.<br />
A key ingredient of the education at<br />
Selwyn House School is the International<br />
Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme<br />
(PYP), which is recognised globally as<br />
a future-focused curriculum based on<br />
intercultural understanding and respect.<br />
The PYP focus is on the total growth<br />
of the developing child, encompassing<br />
intellectual, social, physical, emotional,<br />
spiritual and cultural needs. We use<br />
structured, purposeful inquiry as the<br />
vehicle for learning, and our goal is to<br />
develop an understanding in our students<br />
that they can make a difference to their<br />
world.<br />
Selwyn House School has a culture of<br />
academic achievement and consequently<br />
our students perform significantly higher<br />
than the international student cohort.<br />
Learning in the core subjects of English,<br />
Maths and Science is complemented by the<br />
range of specialist subjects we<br />
offer, including Mechatronics,<br />
Robotics, Artificial Intelligence,<br />
Performing Arts, Music, Physical<br />
Education, Visual Art<br />
and Spanish - each<br />
taught by dedicated<br />
specialist teachers<br />
who are able to impart<br />
their knowledge<br />
and passion to our<br />
students.<br />
Small class sizes<br />
ensure learning is<br />
personalised and<br />
teachers are able to build strong<br />
connections with each child and<br />
provide clear learning strategies<br />
so that students are enabled to take control<br />
of their learning, self-regulate, and develop<br />
self-efficacy.<br />
Choose Selwyn House to give your<br />
daughter the education which will allow<br />
her leadership and personal strengths to<br />
blossom, and allow us to help her become a<br />
confident and informed individual, eager to<br />
take her part in the world.<br />
