Eddy Newton, Head of Marlborough House School in Hawkhurst, explains the virtues of a holistic education “At Marlborough House, a holistic education has quite rightly become the goal for our children, as we seek to educate the whole child, emotionally, physically and academically. This approach gives children the foundations they need to develop into well-rounded, healthy individuals, arming them with the education and life skills needed in order for them to reach their full potential. Our pupils achieve fantastic results in all areas of school life, benefitting from small class sizes and individual attention, but exam grades only tell one part of the story – can your child show adaptability, ease of communication and the ability to research and present? We want our children to be more flexible nowadays, able to think for themselves and possess a range of skills that are appropriate in the modern day. Since 2019, we have followed the PSB – the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate in Years 7 and 8. This is more of a philosophy than a scheme of work, offering a greater range of skills while covering the same material as before. This approach starts in Pre-Prep where our core ‘academic’ work is complemented by emotional development with assemblies, mini TED talks, PSHE and the like. There is also time and space in the afternoons for the practical and physical aspect to be tackled in sport, art and design, STEM activities and performing arts. In this way, pupils at Marlborough House can enjoy the variety of their education as they develop the practical wisdom that will serve them long after they leave us for senior school.” Find out more about Marlborough House, a country Prep School for boys and girls age 2.5-13 years, at their Open Day on Friday 10th <strong>May</strong>.
