"Education is equipping our children to walk through doors of opportunity." L B Johnson
The Independent choice
More and more parents are making the decision to choose private education for their children.
The parents of the new century have an opportunity to buy into an education which boosts their children's confidence and really does prepare them for the challenges of a rapidly changing modern world. Recent surveys have revealed that the main reasons for parents choosing private education are related to the range of opportunities on offer, within disciplined environments where respect for others underpins the ethos of the school.
Independent schools pay careful attention to the well being of the individual child. Teaching methods are adapted to the needs of each child in small classes and encourage independent thinking in pupils.
The diversity of schools within our region empowers parents to choose the right school for their child.
This website provides information about how to contact the Independent Schools within the area and gives the Open Day dates of the schools you may wish to visit.
Independent Education is accessible to all. Schools may offer Scholarships for outstanding merit in some fields - these awards are made irrespective of parents' income.
They may also offer Bursaries - where the amount offered by the school will depend upon the parents' income.
Please contact the relevant school independently for more information.
